TSI Developmental Education: A Program Evaluation Using Mixed Methods Action Research at a Large University

Educational Action Research

Developmental education, formerly known as remedial education, affects 1.7 million first-time in college students each year (Complete College America, 2012). The process of living in today’s society establishes college as the usual progression for students exiting the secondary education system. The increase in enrollment of students from all walks of life and levels of K- 12 preparation has resulted in more students enrolling in developmental education, even at universities. Currently, Texas’ developmental education programs face pressures from state governing bodies to ensure students enrolled in developmental education courses master basic skills such as reading, writing, and mathematics, in addition to other courses required for degree completion. This mixed methods action research program evaluation grew out of the researcher’s charge as a developmental education program administrator to show gains in student completion of remediation requirements and increases in developmental education student performance in subsequent coursework.
