A Dynamic Learning Model for Matriculation Mathematics
A Dynamic Learning Model for Matriculation Mathematics Accelerated pre-matriculation mathematics remediation programs are a popular strategy for improving the placement levels of underprepared students. Although limited assessments of such programs have been reported in the literature, most work is focused either on immediate placement level improvement or longitudinal indicators of student success. While valuable, both techniques offer no insight regarding the learning progression of students while participating in the program, which is of tremendous value in optimizing program policy, such as determining the ideal number of contact hours. Best Matriculation School The research described herein proposes a first-order dynamic learning model for describing students’ content acquisition process within accelerated remediation programs. Details regarding model formulation are presented within this work-in-progress paper. A brief evaluation of model efficacy is also conducted using data g...
