November 2019 - Gaining Ground - Findings from the Dana Center Mathematics Pathways Impact Study

19 Nov 2019

This report analyzes the implementation of the curricular models at the institutional and classroom levels and the contrast of the new models with traditional developmental and college-level math classes, the impact of the DCMP on students’ academic outcomes for up to four semesters, and the DCMP’s costs compared with colleges’ standard course pathways. [...] CAPR’s Evaluation of the DCMP CAPR’s evaluation of the DCMP consists of three primary components: (1) an investigation of colleges’ institutional implementation of the DCMP curricular pathways, their fidelity to the DCMP curricular models, and the contrast between the DCMP courses and colleges’ standard developmental and gateway college-level courses;17 (2) an impact study investigating the effect. [...] The Evaluation of the DCMP Launched in 2014 at four colleges in Texas, CAPR’s randomized controlled trial evaluation of the DCMP consists of three primary research components: (1) an examination of the colleges’ institutional implementation of the DCMP model, their fidelity to the DCMP curricular and in- structional models, and the contrast between the DCMP and the colleges’ standard developmental. [...] These colleges were chosen to participate in the study based on multiple factors, including the experience and strength of their DCMP implementation, the strength of the contrast between the DCMP and other math courses, their ability to scale the DCMP to enroll the targeted number of students, and the colleges’ interest in participating in the study. [...] Chapter 3 discusses the implementation of the DCMP at the four colleges, and the fidelity and contrast between the DCMP and the col- leges’ standard math courses.
