The Effect Of Self-Remediation Activities On Undergraduate Student Retention, Mark Ciampa, Mark Revels Jan 2013

The Effect Of Self-Remediation Activities On Undergraduate Student Retention, Mark Ciampa, Mark Revels

Kentucky Journal of Excellence in College Teaching and Learning

Student performance remediation is an ongoing issue in higher education due to the need for student retention. However, remediation is costly. For example, it is estimated the total annual cost of remedial courses across all types of higher education in 1998 was between one and two billion dollars. In the current financial environment, these additional costs will likely come under increased scrutiny. This study employed empirical research methods on undergraduate participants in order to explore the effect of student self-remediated learning as evidenced by pre- and posttest scores, and to provide research-based recommendations for educators charged with course delivery or …
