Clowes, Darrel A. – Journal of Developmental & Remedial Education, 1980
Identifies three dominant terms used to describe programs for underprepared college students: remedial, compensatory, and developmental education. Describes the historical antecedents of each and proposes more precise uses for the terms to quell their unsystematic differentiation in the literature and to improve program planning and evaluation.
