Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "After having written five developmental algebra textbooks, I decided to team up with Larry Perez from Saddleback College in California to write a paperback series beginning with Basic College Math or arithmetic. We know, first-hand, that teaching developmental mathematics is about so much more than the math. Today, many of our students are also in developmental reading and/or writing courses, so they don't read well. Many students are poor note-takers, do not know how to read/use a textbook, have poor study skills, and have never learned time-management skills. Instructors know that a major reason for high failure rates in developmental math courses is due to the fact that many of our students do not know how to be college students. They don't want to fail, they just don't know how to succeed! Larry and I have adapted what we do in the classroom to try to address the non-math needs of our students. But, we wondered, how can we do this in a textbook? Enter P.O.W.E.R.P.O.W.E.R. is a five-step process to promote learning and critical thinking.

Download or read book Relationship of performance in developmental mathematics to academic success in intermediate algebra written by Laurence F. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study explored the relationship between student academic performance in an exit-level, developmental mathematics course and subsequent academic performance in a college-level mathematics course. Using an ex post facto research design, the study focused specifically on the influence of three sets of factors: (a) demographic characteristics, (b) "stopping-out," and (c) the developmental course. The criterion variables were college-level performance, defined in terms of the student's course grade, and college-level persistence, defined in terms of whether or not the student officially withdrew from the course. A convenience sample of 824 community college students who had completed both the exit-level developmental mathematics course and the entry-level college course during a three-year period from fall 1989 to summer 1992 was used for the data set; the students in the set were shown to be similar to several populations of developmental students. Discriminant function analysis indicated that the data supported the hypotheses. The discriminant function was calibrated on 364 cases randomly selected from the data set; the remainder of the cases were used to cross-validate the results. Cross-validated correct classification rates of 76.74% for academic success and 81.09% for persistence were obtained. The major conclusions of the study were: (1) Developmental course performance is a significant discriminator of college-level mathematics performance and persistence. (2) The length of time a student allows to pass between exiting the developmental course and entering the college-level course is a negatively related discriminator of both college-level performance and persistence. (3) Student age is a positively related discriminator of college-level mathematics performance. (4) The number of attempts at the developmental course is a negatively related discriminator of persistence. (5) African American completers of developmental mathematics appear to be more likely to withdraw from entry-level college mathematics than developmental completers in other ethnic groups. (6) Poor performance in exit-level developmental mathematics greatly increases the risk of failure or attrition for students in entry-level college mathematics. The implications of these results and those of several post hoc analyses were discussed in terms of their theoretical and applied contributions, the limitations of the study were detailed, and suggestions made for future research.

Download or read book Determination of the Effectiveness of Intermediate Algebra Accelerated Math 255 as Preparation for Student Success in a Transferable Mathematics Course written by Steven C. Sworder and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: The Mathematics Department at Saddleback College created a 3-units intermediate algebra course as an alternative to the traditional 5-units intermediate algebra course. Forty percent of the material in the traditional course was composed of review topics from beginning algebra. The 3-units course did not contain that rehash of beginning algebra topics. With the review sections removed, the new course required only 3-units to cover the topics unique to intermediate algebra. It was felt that a 3-units version of intermediate algebra would be easier for students not needing a review of beginning algebra to fit into their class schedules. Additionally, the 3-units course would be less expensive for students who needed credit for an intermediate algebra course. Also the 3-units course would be less expensive than the traditional 5-units course for the college to offer. Purpose: The purpose was to determine the effectiveness of the 3-units intermediate algebra course in preparing students for success in the transferable mathematics course of their choice. Setting: Saddleback College, Mission Viejo, CA, Fall 2006 semester through the Spring 2008 semester. Study Sample: 171 students participated in this study. Research Design: Descriptive. Data Collection and Analysis: The success (grade of C or higher) of students in a subsequent mathematics course was observed and compared with the success rate of students from the traditional 5-units intermediate algebra course. Findings: Students who completed the 3-units intermediate algebra course were as likely to be successful in their subsequent mathematics course as were those who had completed the traditional 5-units intermediate algebra course. Conclusion: The Mathematics Department at Saddleback College should increase the number of offered sections of the 3-units intermediate algebra course and actively promote enrollment in that course by students with a solid understanding of the topics of beginning algebra.

Download or read book Beginning Intermediate Algebra written by Andrea Hendricks and published by McGraw-Hill Education. This book was released on 2012-02-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s Developmental Math students enter college needing more than just the math, and this has directly impacted the instructor’s role in the classroom. Instructors have to teach to different learning styles, within multiple teaching environments, and to a student population that is mostly unfamiliar with how to be a successful college student. Authors Andrea Hendricks and Pauline Chow have noticed this growing trend in their combined 30+ years of teaching at their respective community colleges, both in their face-to-face and online courses. As a result, they set out to create course materials that help today’s students not only learn the mathematical concepts but also build life skills for future success. Understanding the time constraints for instructors, these authors have worked to integrate success strategies into both the print and digital materials, so that there is no sacrifice of time spent on the math. Furthermore, Andrea and Pauline have taken the time to write purposeful examples and exercises that are student-centered, relevant to today’s students, and guide students to practice critical thinking skills. Beginning and Intermediate Algebra and its supplemental materials, coupled with ALEKS or Connect Math Hosted by ALEKS, allow for both full-time and part-time instructors to teach more than just the math in any teaching environment without an overwhelming amount of preparation time or even classroom time.
