Schaffer ] --- background-image: url("https://marksresearch.shinyapps.io/PictureSite/_w_6e7d5c45/image3.png") background-size:910px 700px ### Background - Most community colleges have open enrollment policies that allow students to enroll in classes with little evidence of prior success in high school or other educational settings. - Many community college students arrive academically underprepared and require developmental (remedial) education in math and - English courses to acquire fundamental, college-level skills to successfully move forward with their college education (Chen, 2016). - Faculty and advisors are faced with the challenge of correctly placing students into the math and English classes they are most likely to be successful in. --- background-image: url("https://marksresearch.shinyapps.io/PictureSite/_w_6e7d5c45/image3.png") background-size:910px 700px ### Overview of the Literature - Developmental coursework often acts as a barrier to retention and completion. - Chen (2016) reported that 60% of community college students require developmental education and the credits earned in many developmental courses do not count toward graduation, thus prolonging students’ time to completion. - Hughes and Scott-Clayton (2011) found that many students never enroll in their assigned developmental course or drop out before they receive a grade, indicating that developmental courses can act as significant barriers and deflectors to degree attainment - Ngo (2019) found that when students were placed into developmental courses by placement test scores, their academic progress was often delayed. In this case, Ngo (2019) found that students are often ready for college-level courses but can be misplaced due to deficits in single areas such as fractions in math. --- background-image: url("https://marksresearch.shinyapps.io/PictureSite/_w_6e7d5c45/image3.png") background-size:910px 700px ### Overview of the Literature (Continued) - Traditional approaches to student placement have included using cut-off scores from measures such as SAT, ACT, high school grade point average, or others (Bahr et al., 2019; Hetts, 2019). - Although community colleges have been using these measures for many years, accurate student placement into developmental or college-level coursework continues to be a challenge (Armstrong, 2000; Coleman & Smith, 2021; Bahr et al., 2019). - Recent work suggests that high school grade point average best predicts student success in college level math and English classes and predicts overall college success better than or equal to other measures such as ACT (Bahr et al, 2019; Saunders-Scott et al., 2018; Westrick et al., 2015). --- background-image: url("https://marksresearch.shinyapps.io/PictureSite/_w_6e7d5c45/image3.png") background-size:910px 700px ### This Study - Little research has examined the effects of non-traditionally aged student status (students who return to college later in life) versus traditional student status on community college course success. - This is noteworthy, as over half of community college students are categorized as non-traditional (McBride, 2017). - Non-traditional community college students typically balance multiple roles and responsibilities, such as full-time work and parenting, with their educational pursuits (Eisenberg et al., 2016; Steinhauer & Lovell, 2021). - Given the resultant time constraints faced by non-traditional community college students, incorrect course placement may increase their risk of non-completion and may even dissuade them from returning to college at all. - Therefore, it is necessary to further explore the predictability of placement measures on college-level course success and overall community college student success while factoring in non-traditional student status. --- background-image: url("https://marksresearch.shinyapps.io/PictureSite/_w_6e7d5c45/image3.png") background-size:910px 700px ### Research questions - What is the correlation between HSGPA and ACT and the following: - College GPA, - Passing college English, - Passing college math? - What is the correlation between non-traditional status and the following: - College GPA, - Passing college English, - Passing college math, and (d) high school GPA? - How does non-traditional status mediate the correlation between HSGPA and the independent variables? - We pulled data on enrolled student between Fall, 2011 and Spring, 2022 on over 9,000 student enrolled in a rural serving mountain west community college in Wyoming. --- background-image: url("https://marksresearch.shinyapps.io/PictureSite/_w_6e7d5c45/image3.png") background-size:910px 700px ### Variables <div id="htmlwidget-9e518a25442784ee4a34" style="width:100%;height:auto;" class="datatables html-widget"></div> <script type="application/json" data-for="htmlwidget-9e518a25442784ee4a34">{"x":{"filter":"none","vertical":false,"data":[["1","2","3","4","5","6"],["High School Grade Point Average (HSGPA)","American College Testing (ACT) Score","Non traditional status","College GPA","College Math Grade","College English Grade"],["The sum of all numeric grades per course per student on their high school record divided by total courses took","A composite score of four sub-scores that measure math, English, Reading and Science","The number of years since a student graduated from high school before their first term in college","The sum of all numeric grades per course per student on their college record divided by total courses took","The grade a student earned in their college math class","The grade a student earned in their college English class"],["Independent Variable","Independent Variable","Independent Variable and Mediator Variable","Dependent Variable","Dependent Variable","Dependent Variable"],["0 to 4","1 to 36","0 to 30","0 to 4","N/A","N/A"],["Ratio","Interval","Ratio","Ratio","Ordinal","Ordinal"]],"container":"<table class=\"display\">\n <thead>\n <tr>\n <th> <\/th>\n <th>Variable<\/th>\n <th>Definition<\/th>\n <th>Role<\/th>\n <th>Range<\/th>\n <th>Scale.of.Measurment<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n <\/thead>\n<\/table>","options":{"pageLength":2,"columnDefs":[{"orderable":false,"targets":0}],"order":[],"autoWidth":false,"orderClasses":false,"lengthMenu":[2,10,25,50,100]}},"evals":[],"jsHooks":[]}</script> --- background-image: url("https://marksresearch.shinyapps.io/PictureSite/_w_6e7d5c45/image3.png") background-size:910px 700px ### Demographic Background and Courses - ~37% Full-time - ~72% White - ~61% Identified as Women <div id="htmlwidget-ab7b86772e68af5f39ef" style="width:100%;height:auto;" class="datatables html-widget"></div> <script type="application/json" data-for="htmlwidget-ab7b86772e68af5f39ef">{"x":{"filter":"none","vertical":false,"data":[["1","2","3","4","5"],["College Math","","","","College English"],[2815,null,null,null,3137],["Problem Solving (113 or 4%)","College Algebra (1,967 or 70%) ","Pre-Calculus (19 or .07%) ","Statistics (716 or 25%)","Composition (100%)"]],"container":"<table class=\"display\">\n <thead>\n <tr>\n <th> <\/th>\n <th>Course.Definition<\/th>\n <th>n<\/th>\n <th>Courses<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n <\/thead>\n<\/table>","options":{"columnDefs":[{"className":"dt-right","targets":2},{"orderable":false,"targets":0}],"order":[],"autoWidth":false,"orderClasses":false}},"evals":[],"jsHooks":[]}</script> --- background-image: url("https://marksresearch.shinyapps.io/PictureSite/_w_6e7d5c45/image3.png") background-size:910px 700px ### Descriptive Statistics <div id="htmlwidget-d59c220321d9a7a3a9d7" style="width:100%;height:auto;" class="datatables html-widget"></div> <script type="application/json" data-for="htmlwidget-d59c220321d9a7a3a9d7">{"x":{"filter":"none","vertical":false,"data":[["1","2","3","4"],["HSGradYears","MathGrade","EngGrade","HSGPA"],[8124,4649,4282,6774],[3.79295997575295,3.56743385674339,3.80149462867819,2.94661588426336],[6.64363374906518,1.32751154215666,1.25969915489563,0.571338992699255],[0.251882272,1,1,0.857],[60.62422998,5,5,4.81]],"container":"<table class=\"display\">\n <thead>\n <tr>\n <th> <\/th>\n <th>X<\/th>\n <th>n<\/th>\n <th>mean<\/th>\n <th>sd<\/th>\n <th>min<\/th>\n <th>max<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n <\/thead>\n<\/table>","options":{"pageLength":5,"columnDefs":[{"targets":3,"render":"function(data, type, row, meta) {\n return type !== 'display' ?

Overall, years since high school decreases the strenght of the correlation between high school GPA and: - College math grade - College English grade - Overall college GPA - This means that applying placement policies to all students may decrease their ability to place students in the correct classes --- background-image: url("https://marksresearch.shinyapps.io/PictureSite/_w_6e7d5c45/image3.png") background-size:910px 700px ### Recommendations - Given our results, community college faculty, advisors, and administrators may wish to consider different approaches, such as guided self-placement, when making placement decisions for non-traditional community college students. - Guided self-placement is a process in which students are provided with information about skills needed to successfully complete college level math or English classes (Coleman & Smith, 2020). - Students then self-select their entry into developmental or college level coursework based on this guidance. - This may be particularly useful for non-traditionally aged students who appear to do well regardless of high school records or ACT scores. --- background-image: url("https://marksresearch.shinyapps.io/PictureSite/_w_6e7d5c45/image3.png") background-size:910px 700px ### Conclusion - When it comes to community college student placement, our results show that one size does not fit all students. - We encourage community college administrators to reevaluate their approach to placement for non-traditional students. - Requiring non-traditional community college students to enroll in developmental math or English coursework based on years old high school GPA or test scores may add unnecessary obstacles to their degree completion. - Different placement approaches for non-traditional community college students may eliminate unneeded developmental coursework and increase their success. --- background-image: url("https://marksresearch.shinyapps.io/PictureSite/_w_6e7d5c45/image3.png") background-size:910px 700px ###Limitations and Next Steps - This is one CC with 10 years of data - Working to get all colleges in the state - This is a homogeneous state; work needs to be done to explore the effects given other attributes - We have two papers in review also examining other placement measures - We are also examining the effects of co-requisite polices using multivariate analyses as there are time nests to consider - Again, this is really more of a program evaluation of a western rural-serving CCs ###This presentation and the code at .link-style2[[ This Link:](https://rpubs.com/MarkRules)] --- background-image: url("https://marksresearch.shinyapps.io/PictureSite/_w_6e7d5c45/image3.png") background-size:910px 700px ### References -
