Royer, Dan W.; Baker, Russell D. – New Directions for Community Colleges, 2018
This chapter considers difficulties with traditionally organized developmental math course sequences from the literature and practice. We then report initial student success findings following the system-wide implementation of a corequisite model in developmental math.

Hagedorn, Linda Serra; Kuznetsova, Inna – New Directions for Institutional Research, 2016
Community colleges have been challenged to increase their graduation, transfer, and general success rates. Because they serve the largest proportion of nontraditional students and students of color, their participation in programs to enhance the number of college graduates contributes to social equity and justice. One of the biggest obstacles has…

Hayes, Sharon Moran; Williams, Jeanine L. – NADE Digest, 2016
The current trend in postsecondary literacy is to offer developmental reading and writing coursework in an integrated, (and in most cases) accelerated, format. This move toward integration and acceleration is definitely in line with the research literature; however, many of these new courses do not reflect the curricular and pedagogical reforms…

Mitchell, Claire E.; Alozie, Nonye M.; Wathington, Heather D. – Community College Journal of Research and Practice, 2015
This study examines whether community college developmental summer bridge programs (DSBPs) can help students acquire the academic and college knowledge needed to attend and succeed at a four-year higher education institution. In-depth interviews with 14 participants at nine four-year institutions in Texas were conducted two years after their…

Al-Younes, Mohammad Saleh – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The widespread of online education is clear and the demand for online education is increasing rapidly, so the quality of offered online courses is urging. During COVID-19 restrictions, unprepared institutions, instructors, and students for online education were clear, especially in STEM. So there is a need for more research on online mathematics…

Morris, Emily; Bossé, Michael J.; Sevier, John – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2022
Students enrolled in post-secondary developmental mathematics courses hold mathematical misunderstandings that begin before their college careers. Specifically, these students struggle with conceptual understanding of fractions, ratios, and proportions. The Common Core State Standards in Mathematics outline standards for K-12 mathematics…

Federick Ngo; Dan Cullinan – MDRC, 2022
While most community colleges admit all students who apply for admission, the vast majority have required students to demonstrate specified levels of literacy and numeracy before they can take college-level courses. Typically, students have been assessed using a single placement test, such as the College Board's ACCUPLACER. Colleges--or sometimes…

Pierce, Calisa A. – Journal of Developmental Education, 2017
With the continuing national emphases on acceleration and completion, an integrated reading and writing course (a combined developmental reading and developmental writing course, with all levels compressed into a single course) is one way to move students more quickly and efficiently through the developmental sequence while still maintaining…

Reece Armour, Ashley – ProQuest LLC, 2017
The purpose of this phenomenological case study is to explore the reading attitudes and decision-making skills of college freshmen enrolled in remedial language arts courses. The theoretical framework guiding this study is qualitative phenomenology explained by Baxter and Jack (2008). This specific type of research "provides tools for…

Schudde, Lauren; Meiselman, Yonah – Texas Education Research Center, 2021
This study examined one strategy for dev-ed math reform, the Dana Center Math Pathways (DCMP) model. The DCMP model encouraged students to enroll in a college-level math course best suited to their field of interest and, at the time of inquiry, used a compression approach, condensing sequences of two or more developmental courses into a shorter,…

Lollar, Jonathan; Mueller, Carol Leah; Anthony, Wes – Journal of College Reading and Learning, 2023
The Office of Correctional Education was created through an Act of Congress in 1991 to oversee and coordinate prison education programs as a way to reduce recidivism (Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act, 1990). However, correctional education completion rates are extremely low. Therefore, we used secondary data from the…

Pei Hu; Christine G. Mokher; Kai Zhao; Toby J. Park-Gaghan; Shouping Hu – SAGE Open, 2023
State policymakers in the United States have in recent years experimented with new initiatives to change the procedures used by public institutions to assess and assign academically underprepared students to non-credit developmental education (or remedial) courses. This study explores whether the most recent developmental education reform in…

Susan Sepanik – Center for the Analysis of Postsecondary Readiness, 2023
Large numbers of students entering community colleges are deemed not academically prepared for college-level math. These students have historically been assigned to one or more non-credit-bearing courses for remedial, often called developmental, math instruction before they can take college-level courses. Research has found that most students…

Dan Cullinan – Center for the Analysis of Postsecondary Readiness, 2023
In this supplement, the cost to implement and operate the Dana Center Mathematics Pathways (DCMP) program across the participating colleges is presented separated into primary cost categories based on program components describing what portion of spending went to training, teacher time in class, teacher time outside of class, advisement,…

Sowers, Nicole; Yamada, Hiroyuki – Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, 2015
The Community College Pathways initiative consists of two pathways, Statway® and Quantway®, that accelerate post-secondary students' progress through their developmental mathematics sequence and a college-level course for credit. Launched in 2011, the Pathways have been remarkably successful, helping thousands of students achieve success in…
