One of the many roles of two year community colleges in the United States is to bridge the gap between secondary school and college for students who graduate from high school with weak mathematics skills that prevent them from enrolling in college level mathematics courses. At community colleges remedial or developmental mathematics courses review…

Li, Qingxia; Yang, Xinyao; Payne, Gloria – European Journal of Educational Sciences, 2015
This project examines the differences in student's Critical Thinking ability by comparing student's Pretest and Posttest through the Watson-Glaser Online Assessment. The targeted courses are the developmental mathematics courses at an open admission institution in the Midwest of United States. The methodology is to apply technology such as…

Guy, G. Michael; Cornick, Jonathan; Holt, Robert J.; Russell, Andrew S. H. – Journal of Developmental Education, 2015
After many years of extremely low success rates, a radical new design of the first semester arithmetic remedial course was implemented and studied. Students at a large urban community college could take a traditional semester-long traditional lecture-based remedial arithmetic course or a new accelerated 4-week 20-hour problem-solving based…

Spradlin, Kathy; Ackerman, Beth – Journal of Developmental Education, 2010
This quasiexperimental study compared academic performance of students enrolled in a developmental mathematics course using traditional instruction (i.e., lecture) and traditional instruction supplemented with computer-assisted instruction. In addition, gender differences in mathematical performance were also investigated. There was no…

Taylor, Judy M. – Journal of College Reading and Learning, 2008
We face a world in which a college degree increasingly dictates the likelihood of life success. At the same time, there has been an ever increasing population of students who have not been prepared adequately through their high school education to meet the rigors of college/university-level content. The present study investigated the effects of a…

Peer reviewedPetricig, Michael – Mathematics Teacher, 1988
Describes a remedial college course in intermediate algebra designed to improve student success rate. Suggests that the course was easy and inexpensive to implement and required a minimum of reorganization. (PK)

Peer reviewedKinney, D. Patrick – Research and Teaching in Developmental Education, 2001
Compares outcomes in developmental mathematics classes that used lectures with classes that utilized computer-mediated instruction. Finds that the results showed no significant differences on common exams. States that course satisfaction levels, however, were higher in computer-mediated classes, partly because students wanted greater control over…
