Community colleges serve as conduits for students as they make the transition between secondary school and college. Community colleges also have a unique place in the American education system as they serve a large number of non-traditional students. The open-door policy of community colleges gives students the opportunity to pursue a college education. However, not all students who enroll in community colleges are academically prepared for college-level courses.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Community colleges serve as conduits for students as they make the transition between secondary school and college. Community colleges also have a unique place in the American education system as they serve a large number of non-traditional students. The open-door policy of community colleges gives students the opportunity to pursue a college education. However, not all students who enroll in community colleges are academically prepared for college-level courses.
520 $a A comprehensive literature review in the areas of community college, developmental education, mathematics education, and the connection between language and mathematics was conducted. Based on the results of the literature review, this study examined a population of students who placed into all three developmental education subjects when they enrolled at the community college based on their Computerized Placement Test (CPT) scores.
520 $a In the first part of the study, the researcher studied the relationship between reading level and success rate in developmental mathematics courses. In the second part, the researcher used a logistic regression model to predict success in developmental mathematics courses based on CPT scores in math, reading, and writing, as well as ethnicity, gender, age, traditional college student status, limited English proficiency, and enrollment status.
520 $a Results from the study revealed that the order in which developmental reading courses and developmental mathematics courses are taken does make a difference in the success rate of students in their developmental mathematics courses. There is a significant relationship between reading level and success rate in developmental mathematics courses for students who take reading before or at the same time as mathematics. A logistics regression model with four significant variables was created to predict success in developmental mathematics courses greater than chance.
520 $a This study can assist counselors in placing students in the correct developmental mathematics course when they enroll in the community college. It further gives administrators the opportunity to evaluate current placement policy in developmental mathematics courses based on the order in which the courses are taken and CPT cutoff scores. This study also proposes recommendations and further research in the area of developmental mathematics education.
