Replacing remedial algebra with a credit bearing math education course
Page: 1252
This report describes the first year of a pilot study to replace a non-credit bearing remedial algebra course with a credit bearing mathematics course designed for elementary education majors. The replacement course focuses on developing a deeper understanding of numbers and operations, compared to a primarily skills based remedial class. The resulting course average and passing rates of both courses, as well as passing rate of subsequent courses are included.
