Accelerating Success: A Multi-College Investigation of the Dana Center Mathways Project. Policy Brief

Texas Education Research Center
This study examined one strategy for dev-ed math reform, the Dana Center Math Pathways (DCMP) model. The DCMP model encouraged students to enroll in a college-level math course best suited to their field of interest and, at the time of inquiry, used a compression approach, condensing sequences of two or more developmental courses into a shorter, accelerated prerequisite course that covers the same content in a single semester. Among two cohorts of students who enrolled in developmental math courses in fall 2015 and fall 2016, the study compared key early outcomes of those enrolled in DCMP developmental courses with peers enrolled primarily in traditional developmental math courses. Findings show evidence of greater enrollment and pass rates in introductory college-level math courses among the DCMP enrollees as early as one semester after developmental enrollment.
