Abstract: |
Recently, the
popularity of timed-essay exams
has increased, becoming part of
the Graduate Management
Admissions Test (GMAT) in the
late 1990s and now being
incorporated into The College
Board Scholastic Aptitude Test
(SAT) in Spring of 2005 and ACT
(American College Testing) test
in Fall of 2004. This research
evaluates the “value added” of
an essay component, contrasting
placement using ACT's multiple
choice COMPASS (Computerized
Placement Assessment Support
System) writing test versus
essays holistically scored by
English faculty. Evidence
suggests (a) that combining the
timed-essay exam score with
another score may improve
accurate placement; (b) that the
timed-essay exams, not
multiple-choice tests, may be
fairer for minority students;
(c) and that a questionnaire
creates an invaluable context
when relating scores on
placement tests to final grades
in courses. [ABSTRACT FROM

Abstract: |
Four years of
data on the academic performance
of 256 students who
self-selected online
developmental writing rather
than a face-to-face section
(about 10% of the 2,275 students
enrolled in the course overall)
are examined in this empirical
study. The research controls for
serf-selection effects related
to demographic variables,
student status, and academic
preparedness. Resulting analysis
of the data suggests that
instructional delivery
method-asynchronous or
face-to-face—has a significant
impact on student outcomes. The
researchers summarize findings
related to the influences of
various factors on the retention
and success of students in the
online course. Based on these
findings, the researchers offer
suggestions for improving or
creating a new online
developmental course and discuss
implications for future
research. [ABSTRACT FROM

Abstract: |
Most colleges and
universities emphasize
identifying smartness much more
than developing smartness. This
value is made explicit in the
many influential rankings of
colleges and universities, in
which elitist schools who
recruit students with high SAT
scores, grade point averages,
and class rankings are declared
“better” than other schools. The
pursuit of high academic
rankings (a) often is
accompanied by a disdain for
underprepared students who lower
a school's ranking and (b) often
contradicts the alleged desire
to promote educational
opportunities for groups of
students who are placed at a
strong disadvantage by factors
such as SAT scores. [ABSTRACT

Abstract: |
Finding practical
ideas about college reading and
learning strategy programs that
have been drawn from theory and
research is difficult for most
veteran instructors but is even
more difficult for those
instructors new to the field.
Over a decade ago the authors
reviewed the literature and
generated a list of their own
‘best ideas’ as a way of
facilitating professional
development. Given the promising
research trends and best
practices that have emerged
since then, the authors deemed
it important to update these
ideas or recommendations. In
addition, the authors have
purposely cited many scholarly
sources in order to provide an
extensive bibliograpby for
colleagues new to the field. [ABSTRACT

Abstract: |
Dissatisfaction
with student success has caused
a crisis in developmental
education. Critics from both
inside and outside the field
question whether remedial
courses really prepare students
for future college work or even
if they are properly part of the
college mission. In this
article, we review research and
present information that
suggests developmental educators
should redefine core principles
and key concepts to reinvigorate
theory and practice in the
field. [ABSTRACT FROM

Abstract: |
This paper
investigates which students
delay taking a required
developmental mathematics course
and the impact of delay on
student performance in
introductory microeconomics.
Analysis of a sample of 1462
students at a large Midwestern
university revealed that,
although developmental- level
mathematics students did not
reach the same level of
performance as nondevelopmental
microeconomics students,
students who did take
developmental mathematics
performed better than students
who had not yet done so. We
recommend that students needing
mathematics remediation take the
course in their first semester
and that the importance of
developmental courses to other
disciplines he stressed. [ABSTRACT

Abstract: |
The guiding
premise of this article is that
developmental education and
learning assistance programs
will continue to be undervalued
and vulnerable as long as there
is no overarching, shared
theoretical framework that
practitioners can (and want to)
call their own. The traditional
approach to addressing this
theory crisis has been to import
theories from outside the field.
This article presents an
alternative approach. Advantages
and benefits of a
practice-oriented approach are
identified and briefly
discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM

Abstract: |
Attrition
statistics for first-year
students in many tertiary
environments suggest that
students face a wide variety of
obstacles. Students in
developmental education
programmes usually have one
additional obstacle: They have a
history of failure in academic
settings. Therefore there are
emotional and psychological
barriers in addition to academic
ones. Those students who come
from low socio-economic
backgrounds, often linked to
membership of a minority ethnic
group, face further obstacles
again. This paper follows the
efforts made in one
developmental programme to
reduce the dropout rate for such
a group of students. [ABSTRACT

Abstract: |
The purpose of
this study is to determine
differences in mathematics
self-efficacy between students
enrolled in a developmental
mathematics course and those
enrolled in a calculus course.
Data from a sample of 185
freshmen students at a single
4-year institution using the
Mathematics Self-Efficacy Scale
are analyzed. Results indicate
that calculus students possess
not only better mathematical
skills but also a more powerful
sense of self-belief in their
ability to succeed in a college
mathematics course. The results
of this study suggest that
future teaching methodologies
should he designed specifically
for students enrolled in
developmental courses that not
only develop mathematics
capability hut also a
self-awareness of increased
capability. Efficacy-enhancing
instructional strategies should
be tested for effectiveness,
thereby improving the teaching
and learning process for all
learners. [ABSTRACT FROM

Abstract: |
In this article
we intend to contribute to a
deeper discussion of diversity
in the context of developmental
education theory and practice.
The article is a position piece,
proposing that diversity be
defined as a continually
expanding awareness of the
dynamics of difference in regard
to social power, personal
perceptions, and judgments about
others. It then discusses the
theoretical and practical
underpinnings of a research
program identifying the
competencies of multicultural
students and their applications
in educational .settings.
Although untested, the ideas are
intended to challenge thinking,
promote discussion, and set the
stage for future articles
reporting on outcomes of the
research program. [ABSTRACT

Abstract: |
This pilot study,
funded from a 5-year grant from
the U.S. Department of Education
Title III Strengthening
Institutions Program, explores
the factors identified by women
with AD/HD that are necessary (o
their achieving college success.
The results of this study, based
on 13 in-depth interviews with
women who are both academically
successful and have AD/HD,
highlight the influence of
motivation, attitude, support
systems, self-reflection, and
social-academic balance on
academic success. The article
concludes with implications that
may help instructors and
institutions better serve women
with attentional issues in the
college setting. [ABSTRACT

Abstract: |
From the
assumption that class attendance
is important for learning it
follows that methods which
increase attendance will
increase learning. To increase
attendance, students who missed
developmental math classes were
sent email reminders that they
should attend. Students in
sections which received the
email reminders did attend at
higher rates than students in
matched sections. The higher
attendance, however, did not
result in greater learning as
measured by standard course
examinations. Attending class
may be superficial behavior not
necessarily related to the
deeper study behaviors which
determine learning outcomes. [ABSTRACT

Abstract: |
One of the goals
of developmental education is to
help students to be able to
succeed in mainstream college
courses. However, courses in
developmental education
traditionally have focused
exclusively on reading, writing,
and basic mathematics. In this
article, we discuss the role
that science courses can play in
developmental education. Drawing
upon examples from our own
courses, we illustrate how
science courses can be used both
as vehicles for the application
of best practices in teaching
and as contexts within which to
conduct research on how to help
developmental students acquire
the skills they need to succeed.

Abstract: |
This study
utilized 397 students who
participated in prefreshman
summer programs in 1998 at six
universities and who were
tracked for 3 years. The purpose
of this study was to identify
which prefreshman summer program
characteristics and
precollegiate student
characteristics had an effect on
college CPA and student
retention. The findings revealed
that high school CPA had a
direct positive effect and
program size and program length
had direct negative effects on
college CPA. Furthermore, age
and voluntary peer/professional
tutoring had direct negative
effects on student retention.
The findings and implications
for practice are discussed. [ABSTRACT

Abstract: |
There is an
increasing expectation of
state-of-the-art services for
college students with
disabilities. Although access to
postsecondary education has
resulted in positive outcomes
for students with disabilities,
there has been little validation
of services that should be
available to students with
disabilities. This study sought
to identify and validate
Performance Indicators that
experts agree foster access to
postsecondary education. The
results identified 90
Performance Indicators that are
essential "best practices" for
disability services in higher
education. The findings provide
direction for institutions of
higher education to implement
and validate their services for
students with disabilities. [ABSTRACT

Abstract: |
The article
focuses on the contribution of
K. Patricia Cross, professor
emerita of higher education at
the University of California in
Berkeley, California, to the
history of postsecondary access
to higher education. The 1960s
brought a great deal of change
to higher education. The Civil
Rights Act of 1964, had a
significant impact on higher
education. It prohibited any
institution practicing
discrimination from receiving
federal grants or contracts.
Cross favored the term
developmental education because
it meant developing the full
range of talents of individual
students. Instead of thinking of
developmental education as
developing the full range of
talents, many people think of
developmental education as a
less pejorative term for
remediating deficiencies. Prior
to the late 1960s, students who
scored below average on
traditional tests of academic
achievement were dramatically
underrepresented in college.
With the new attitudes about
equal access and the advantages
of diversity, the lower-scoring
students got the opportunity to
enter college, especially
community colleges. |

Abstract: |
This study
examined how developmental
education students' grades and
attendance rates were affected
by (a) penalties for excessive
absenteeism, and (b) an emphasis
on the academic benefits of
class attendance in a large
introductory biology course. On
avenge, students in sections of
the course in which the
importance of attendance was
stressed throughout the semester
came to class more often and
made higher grades than did
students in sections in which
the importance of attendance was
not emphasized (despite the fact
that students received no
academic credit for coming to
class). Imposing a penalty for
excessive absences did not
affect attendance or grades.
These results indicated that
improved rates for class
attendance were associated with
improved academic performance
and that an emphasis on the
academic benefits of class
attendance was more effective
for boosting attendance and
academic performance than
penalties for excessive
absenteeism. [ABSTRACT

Abstract: |
The article
focuses on three classroom
observation techniques for data
collection. In structured
observation, the observer uses a
form with instructions for the
purpose of noting when and how
often classroom activities
illustrating the category of
interest occur. A teacher diary
is a log or journal document,
which is written at the end of a
class session. It serves as a
chronology of events and a
treasury for emotional
reflection. The common use of
diary data is the collection of
ethnographic field notes. Diary
has also some drawbacks. Teacher
diary data is remembered rather
than directly observed data. It
is also difficult to distinguish
between descriptive and
evaluative comments. The third
observation technique is video
taping. Video can give a
detailed and naturalistic view
of life in a classroom. It can
reveal things that might
otherwise go unnoticed. Video
taping has also some drawbacks.
It can only record the aimed
object and cannot be aimed at
everything. Cameras can be
intrusive and might result in
alteration of student behavior,
which could skew recorded data. |
