Effective Institutional and Instructional Practices in Developmental Math Education: A Study of a Southeastern Community College System

Аннотация

Developmental math education continues to be a rising challenge for many postsecondary two-year institutions. In response to this challenge, many colleges are adapting their developmental math education programs by implementing best institutional and instructional practices as defined by recent literature. This descriptive and correlational study used data from the Developmental Education Program Survey (DEPS) and the selected state’s Department of Education to explore how community colleges within the state have implemented these research-based, promising instructional and institutional practices in the area of developmental mathematics education. The quantitative study through multiple linear regression analysis determined if the implementation of certain practices predicted the success of the students.
