CLAST Results, October 2001. Information Capsule.
Rodriguez, Silvio
This document addresses the CLAST results for Miami-Dade Community College (M-DCC) in 2001. The results can be useful in developing strategies to enhance the CLAST pass rates of M-DCC students. Specifically, the document addresses the following three areas: first time and retake pass rates, performance of first time examinees by skill area, students earning CLAST alternatives. The author suggests that students' skills improvement should focus on these areas since it is likely to enhance the students' performance and increase the likelihood that they will pass the subtest. Some of the key findings of the report are as follows: (1) pass rates from 2001 administration were higher in the mathematics subtest for first timers and retakes; (2) despite the fact that M-DCC achieved increases in the mathematics pass rates, the scores remain low; (3) in all of the skills areas, the performance of M-DCC students was generally lower than the Statewide rates for the publics universities and community colleges; and (4) 3,601 students earned a CLAST alternative and 422 students were exempt from the entire CLAST. Contains nine tables, which show the statewide first time examinees in each public institution and statewide results for retake examinees. (MZ)
