- W2244288247 abstract "The intent of this paper is to respond to refutations set forth in Bailey, Jaggars, and Scott-Clayton's paper, Characterizing the Effectiveness of Developmental Education: A Response to Recent Criticism (2013), which is a response (see also,COMMENTARY, pg. 18) to our initial paper, Addressing Flawed Research in Developmental Education (2012). However, before we go any further, we would like to take the time to make an important distinction that may not have been explicitly clear in our initial work.The Community College Research Center (CCRC) of Columbia University, established in 1996, is an organization whose mission is to contribute to the development of practice and policy that expands access to higher education and promotes success for all (CCRC, 2013, para. 2). Even though we may disagree with a few of the CCRC's conclusions regarding developmental education as a whole, we do in fact agree with and support not only their mission but the overwhelming majority of their research as well. Their intent is genuine, their research is sound, and thus there should be no question of their integrity.Regrettably, organizations have cited the CCRC and others' research to promote radical changes to developmental education, such as abolishing prerequisite remedial courses and replacing them with corequisite courses, much like a law passed recently by the Connecticut State Legislature (An Act Concerning, 2012). Fortunately the CCRC does not agree with this course of action. In their response, Bailey et al. (2013) clearly state, do not advocate-nor do we believe that the results of our research support-the elimination of developmental education, the placing of all students into college courses, or the wholesale conversion of developmental education into a corequisite model (p. 2).As researchers and academics, we believe in a healthy and critical exchange of ideas, and it is in this spirit that we wish to simultaneously support our colleagues at the CCRC yet add to this important dialogue. The following comments therefore attempt to define our disagreements more clearly so that readers may be more informed about our position. More importantly, with this paper and others, we hope students, parents, educators, legislators, and researchers can learn about and build upon the corpus of community college research so that all constituents can accomplish and maintain the shared goal of student success at the postsecondary level.A Basic RDD Flaw: What the Treatment Should AccomplishThe CCRC's researchers have contributed to and continually reference a body of work they rely upon to argue that developmental education is ineffective overall for students in community colleges and four-year institutions. One problem with this assessment is that it defines developmental education exclusively in terms of remedial courses. Scholars in the field (Arendale, 2012; Boylan, 1999) generally define developmental education as the integration of courses and academic support services guided by the principles of adult learning and development. However, criticisms leveled against developmental education may instead actually focus only on remedial courses, which may or may not be guided by the principles of adult learning and development. It is incorrect, therefore, to say that developmental education as a whole is ineffective.Nevertheless, their sole evidence for claims of remediation's inefficacy are the results from quasi-experimental analyses of various longitudinal datasets. These studies are called regression discontinuity design (RDD) studies, and since approximately seven or eight RDD studies from varying levels of cutoffs show mostly null or negative results, then the CCRC argues that developmental education has no positive effect overall. We previously addressed their use of what we believe to be an incorrect definition of success. The CCRC's response dismissed our definition and reasserted their original position. …" @default.
