The Predictability of Student Attributes and Instructional Milieu on Success in Developmental Math Courses, College Algebra, the CAAP Exam, and Matriculation to Degree

黑山州立大学的这个项目建立在之前成功减少STEM前数学课程自然减员努力的基础上，并使该大学能够调查教与学过程中对发展数学序列中的成功补救最有影响的变量。其目标是通过分析在黑山州立大学重组基础和中级代数课程后获得的结果，确定哪些课程在学习发展数学方面起作用。有益的应用程序可翻译到所有STEM学科，特别是服务于代表性不足学生的项目。这一潜力得到了强调和预期，因为该计划在关键的大学预科数学课程中已经取得了学生成功的增加。

This Black Hills State University project builds on previously successful efforts to decrease attrition in pre-STEM mathematics courses and positions the university to investigate those variables in the teaching and learning process that are most influential in successful remediation within a developmental mathematics sequence. The goal is to determine what works in learning developmental mathematics by analyzing the results obtained after restructuring basic and intermediate algebra courses at Black Hills State University. Beneficial applications are translatable to all STEM disciplines, and especially to projects serving underrepresented students. This potential is underscored and expected as there already have been increases in student success achieved by the program in key pre-university level mathematics courses.
