Direct linkOkimoto, Hae; Heck, Ronald – Community College Journal of Research and Practice, 2015
At community colleges, student preparedness for college-level work is a significant initial barrier. Over 70% of community college students are reported to be inadequately prepared for college mathematics. Because students need to pass college-level math in order to enroll in subsequent courses required for their majors or to complete general…

Bonner, Sarah M. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2013
Although test scores from similar tests in multiple choice and constructed response formats are highly correlated, equivalence in rankings may mask differences in substantive strategy use. The author used an experimental design and participant think-alouds to explore cognitive processes in mathematical problem solving among undergraduate examinees…

Felder, Jonathan E.; Finney, Joni E.; Kirst, Michael W. – National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, 2007
"Informed math self-placement," a program implemented at American River College in Sacramento, California, to determine students' readiness for college-level math, has been in place for three years. This case study describes the development and implementation of math self-placement at American River. Math self-placement consists of a…
