Description
The purpose of this study is to determine if there
exist effective components in past and present curricula for
underprepared, black junior college students. The four
criteria of effectiveness used in this study include:
(1) attrition rate, (2) grade-point average, (J) student motivation,
and (4) faculty response. The method consists of
a survey of the literature on past and present remedial programs
and of analysis of selected programs to find successful
components and to determine the reasons for their effectiveness. A model remedial program composed of the preceding
four components is presented. Its purpose is to help
underprepared, black students in the junior colleges overcome
problems which are barriers to continuation in at least
junior college programs.
Now, it is necessary to apply and evaluate the model
for its effectiveness.
