Identifier	Diss 6
Author	Keleher, Jane C.
Title	An Analysis of the Performance of First Year Students Completing a Developmental Math Course
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2005
Resource Type	Dissertation
Notes	Information about student performance was obtained by analyzing the performance of twenty-three fall sections of developmental mathematics taught at a state university. The independent variables included student performance on three predictor variables: a state test, the SAT and a standardized placement test (Accuplacer). Additional independent variables included the grouping of the sending school by socioeconomic factors, student gender, and student study of mathematics the senior year of high school. The dependent variable was achievement in developmental mathematics as measured by the final grade on a departmentalized final exam as well as sub scores measuring skills, and, problem solving and graphing. The t-test for means was used to compare means of two groups and analysis of variance was used to compare means of more than two groups. Pearson r correlation coefficients were used to determine correlation of the predictor variables to achievement. Linear regression and multiple regression were used to develop prediction equations using single and multiple effects of the predictor variables. Statistically significant differences were found based on gender, socioeconomic grouping of students and study of mathematics the senior year. Senior year study of mathematics was significantly related to performance on the placement test. While predictor variables were significantly related to student performance, no single predictor or multiple effects of predictors lead to valid prediction equations. The conclusions include the need to determine the source of extreme variability in the relationships of the prediction variables to student performance.
