Journal of College Academic Support Programs, v6 n2 p21-28 2024
Developmental mathematics courses play a critical role in ensuring that students have the foundational mathematical skills necessary to succeed in higher educational mathematics coursework. With the introduction of the corequisite format in recent educational reforms, there has been a growing trend towards transferring developmental mathematics courses to computerized adaptive learning platforms such as computer aided instruction (CAI) and mastery-based learning for developmental math content. While this trend has led to increased accessibility and flexibility for students, it has also raised concerns about the effectiveness in supporting students' acquisition of essential mathematical knowledge, particularly for the students categorized as needing developmental mathematics. In this article, the authors advocate for the use of computerized platforms alongside alternative teaching methods rather than as a substitute for in-person instruction and interaction.
