Executive Summary Throughout the United States, colleges and universities are struggling to sustain programs and course offerings to meet educational needs when resources are continuously being reduced. Institutions also have to address educational shortcomings for students transitioning from high school to postsecondary education, especially in math.

“Many students entering college have weak skills in mathematics. According to the 2005 report of the Business-Higher Education Forum…22 percent of college freshmen must take remedial math courses, and less than half of the students who plan to major in science or engineering actually complete a major in those fields. Students in underrepresented minority groups, who suffer disproportionately in terms of weak math skills, are particularly underrepresented among college graduates in math, science, and engineering” (Thiel, 2008).

The objective of the Mathematics Progression Study is to evaluate student success in math from grade 9 to postsecondary graduation. The significance of the study was to determine possible barriers to success in math for students advancing to remedial math education at the postsecondary educational level. The goal for Mid-Valley Partnership (MVP) members is to reduce the need for remedial math education at the postsecondary level, to create a high level of student success in math, and to strengthen student persistence to postsecondary graduation. The analysis of remedial math education for the MVP institutions includes general trends in remedial math education needs for regional high school students attending Linn-Benton Community College and Oregon State University as well as gender and ethnic data. The data suggests that the lower the percentage of students taking math during their senior year in high school the higher the percentage of students taking remedial math at the postsecondary level. The data also suggests that females are more likely, within white populations, to take remedial math courses and males are more likely, within ethnic minority populations, to take remedial math courses. Based on the analysis and the goals of this study it is recommended that: • MVP institutions create greater expectations and higher standards for high school students

for math. • Oregon State University rely on its community colleges partnerships as with Linn-Benton

Community College to provide remedial math education and eliminate course offerings at Oregon State University.

• MVP institutions reduce emphasis on math placement exam when transitioning from high school to postsecondary education.

• MVP institutions encourage math coursework for students during their senior year of high school.

• MVP institutions standardize courses within and between school districts.

In the Strong American Schools (2008) report the Diploma To Nowhere it states that “[e]ducators at all levels need to collect better data and start publicly reporting the percentage of students receiving remediation and the percentage of high schoolers who are unprepared for university-level work. At the same time, high schools must bolster academic expectations and improve outcomes.” The institutions associated with this study accept the challenge outlined by Strong American Schools by beginning the process to document regional student success in math education. Study Description The focus of the study was to create an integrated data system that focuses on student success in math from grade 9 to postsecondary education with a specific focus on remedial math students in postsecondary. The data is a compilation of math courses and grades from Linn Benton Lincoln Education Service District including information from Corvallis School District, Greater Albany School District, and Philomath School District, as well as data from Linn-Benton Community College and Oregon State University. The study will assist the MVP in evaluating previous high school graduation requirements for math to create a basis for a longitudinal study to assess the success of the newly implemented high school graduation requirements. Background. The MVP was established in 2004. It is a partnership comprised of local educational leaders from Corvallis School District, Greater Albany Public School District, Linn-Benton Community College, Linn Benton Lincoln Education Service District, Oregon State University, and Philomath School District. The study is an evaluation of student success in math from grade 9 to postsecondary graduation from Oregon State University during the years of 2002-2007. Objective. “The collective objective must be getting all students ready for college” (Strong American Schools, 2008). The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the previous high school graduation standards for the regional school districts met the level required for students to advance to college level math in postsecondary education. The evaluation will help develop a basis for a longitudinal study and ultimately a comparison to the newly implemented high school graduation requirements. To meet the objective, an evaluation of math courses and grades from grade 9 to postsecondary was conducted for postsecondary remedial math students to define successful progression and persistence to postsecondary graduation. Obstacles. During this study a variety of obstacles were encountered. One of them includes the assessment of course equivalencies not only within and across school districts but also equivalencies during the transition from high school to postsecondary education. Many courses did not translate directly into postsecondary math course offerings. The coursework discrepancies for the study participants created assessment challenges for the researchers. Another obstacle to this study was the lack of information regarding students’ majors and degree discipline. Specifically, a lack of information regarding discipline at the time of coursework, as

Page 4

each discipline requires a different level of math, researchers were consequently unable to determine what math courses were required for study participants. Significance. “Students need a university degree in order to succeed in modern society and the global economy. Our nation’s economic security relies on a well educated, well-prepared workforce” (Strong American Schools, 2008). Math education is an important element to student success and understanding the barriers to success in math is essential in assisting students to postsecondary graduation. “Some [students] need minimal remediation, but others need much more. Students who need only limited remediation can get discouraged at having to spend a semester’s worth of time and resources in a remedial course” (Biswas, 2007). With the implementation of new high school graduation requirements including more math education at the secondary educational level, educators hope to reduce the need for remedial math education in postsecondary and improve persistence and progression to postsecondary graduation. Educators need to assess student success as students transition from high school to postsecondary education to determine if the goals and objectives of high school graduation requirements are being met. The intent of the study is to compare and continually assess student success in math. The results of this study and future studies will assist MVP members in policy decisions regarding math curriculum in connection with state standards including addressing questions such as: • Are the current high school math requirements preparing students for postsecondary level

math? • Is there a correlation in the high school mathematics courses taken by remedial students and

the need for remediation at the postsecondary level? • Are there similarities in the math weaknesses of high school graduates that enroll in

postsecondary remedial math courses? • What percentage of postsecondary remedial math students complete his or her high school

graduation math requirements prior to their senior year? Other studies including the National Center for Education Statistics, Institute of Education Sciences’ (2008) longitudinal study Trends Among High School Seniors 1972-2004 indicate a need to evaluate course taking trends especially during the senior year to understand student success among high school students (Appendix D). This study is an initial evaluation of high school math courses taken by remedial student to determine if there is a correlation to the courses taken and enrollment in remedial math courses. Methodology Method for identification and extraction. The students evaluated in this study were extracted from the Oregon State University and the Linn Benton Lincoln Education Service District student databases. The use of these sources allowed for flexibility and accessibility to student records. Although, the data are limited in that it does not correlate inconsistencies related to data reporting (i.e. curriculum changes). As math curriculum changed, the reported data did not

Page 5

specify changes or equivalency to previous data, which created a lack of clarity in the correlation of curricula between school districts. The initial extraction of student data originated from the Oregon State University Student Information System data warehouse for students who graduated with an undergraduate degree during 2002-2007. The data specified graduates who attended Corvallis School District, Greater Albany Public School District, Philomath School District, and may have attended Linn-Benton Community College prior to graduating from Oregon State University. The remaining data for grade 9 to grade 12 was extracted from the Linn Benton Lincoln Education Service District student database for only those students that enrolled in remedial math courses during their postsecondary education at Linn-Benton Community College and/or Oregon State University. The two data sets were integrated to create a comprehensive view of a remedial student’s educational career (Appendix A). The integrated data set includes math courses, grades, and GPA. In addition, a crosswalk of math courses for grade 9 to postsecondary was developed to assist in the analysis of student progression (Appendix B). Prescribe. The prescribing method for this study is an outward-focused review of secondary students and their preparedness for postsecondary level math. The study reviewed student progression in math for the regional school districts and the math requirements for graduation. The information was compared to math courses and grades taken at the postsecondary level to determine if the previous high school courses were successful in preparing students for postsecondary math requirements. By ranking the criteria for student success including grades and grade point average, the researchers determined if students graduating from the local school districts were meeting the requirements for college level math. The inclusion of grade point average was important, as other studies have linked “a path from high school GPA to type of college math enrollment” (Hagedorn, Siadat, & Fogel, et. al., 1999). With the implementation of new graduation requirements including changes to math requirements, it is important to compare student progression with policy decisions related to remedial math education for all educational levels. The new high school graduation requirements implemented for entering freshmen in 2008 will help to create a comparative analysis of previous requirements to determine if the predicted outcome of reducing the need for remedial math is actualized. Analysis General Trends As indicated in Figure 1, there is a slight increase in students taking remedial math courses between 2002-2007. Remedial math coursework from regional high schools is highest in 2007, with 21 of the 69 participants taking remedial math coursework.

Table 2 below displays GPA analysis by graduation year. It is important to indicate that although the majority of students (52.2%) did not take math their senior year, on average they have higher GPAs. For 2005, the GPA is higher for those students taking math their senior year of high school compared to other years noted in the study. Table 2 suggests that a lack of math during the senior year of high school will result in a difficult transition to equivalent math coursework from high school to postsecondary education, causing math placement errors at the postsecondary level.

Recommendations Two existing problems arose during the study.

employment and participate in global markets, expectations need rise if we anticipate competing in this global market. Achieve, Inc. (2004) further recommends that students are placed in an accelerated high school program, allowing students to opt-out rather than requiring students to opt-in to the advanced or honors program. Eliminate Remedial Math Course Offerings at OSU As colleges and universities restructure to sustain programs and course offerings, it is also time to increase expectations of incoming college students by eliminating remedial math course offerings at OSU. This would send a clear message and incentive for students to adequately prepare for postsecondary education in high school. Instead, remedial courses would be offered at LBCC, strengthening the partnership between OSU and LBCC. Provide Incentives for Going Beyond the Core Regional high schools need to provide incentives that encourage students to go beyond the core curriculum currently required for a high school diploma in Oregon. For example, “the Indiana Core 40 includes three years of math through Algebra II…To provide an additional, powerful incentive for students, the Roundtable also has recommended that completion of the Core 40 curriculum be required for state financial aid eligibility at four-year institutions.” (Achieve, Inc., 2004). Reduce Emphasis on Math Placement Exam “Because the average college student attends a nonselective institution to which he or she is almost assured admission, the remediation placement exam taken when first arriving on campus has become the key academic gate-keeper to postsecondary study.” (Bettinger, 2005). There is too much emphasis placed on the math placement exam that students take to determine their math course progression from high school to postsecondary education. The sum of high school math knowledge is determined by one exam, the summer after high school graduation, which is a difficult transition period. This calls for greater requirements during START weeks for refresher courses. Students should be required to take a refresher course prior to the math placement exam. The refresher course should coincide with the student’s last class taken in high school, so students are placed in the appropriate math course. Another way to reduce emphasis of the math placement exam is to provide students with the opportunity to take the math placement exam during their junior and senior years in high school. This would allow students to take the exam after their last math course and would provide a more accurate gauge of their math skills.

Encourage Mathematics Coursework During the Senior Year of High School “There is a growing consensus that students should take math during their senior year in high school – preferably a course beyond Algebra II – to ensure that they continue to strengthen their knowledge and skills.” (Achieve, Inc., 2004). By taking math during a student’s senior year in high school, students retain math skills during the transitional period between high school and postsecondary education. In this study, only 36 (52%) out of the 69 students took a math class their senior year of high school. It is evident that a time-lapse from a student’s last high school math course to his or her first postsecondary math class hinders math progression. Course Standardization Between Districts In order for educators to assess student success in math, course equivalencies are essential to understanding math coursework between districts as well as the transitional period to postsecondary education. This would require course standardization between and within districts for math courses, enabling educators throughout the state to assess and compare student success in Oregon. Conclusion As educators it is our responsibility to create a path for success for all students. To do so, it is necessary to understand the barriers students face as they transition from high school to postsecondary education. Remedial math education is a known barrier to success for some students. “Students enrolling in remedial mathematics classes are starting our postsecondary institutions at a marked disadvantage. Although college professionals must strive to intervene and help reverse the cycle of inferiority reported by our remedial students, their efforts are ex-post facto” (Hagedorn, et. al., 1999).

“Improvements in mathematics education must occur at all levels. Certainly improvements in elementary and high school curriculum and instruction will reduce the need for college remediation. However, despite Herculean efforts by K-12 professionals, the need for college mathematics remediation is unlikely to disappear. Since it is the duty of educators to direct all students toward success, students enrolled in remedial courses deserve the best instruction and curriculum we know how to deliver” (Hagedorn, et. al., 1999).

However, we must first assess what has been done and how implemented change influences the success of our students. This study is the basis of that assessment.
