When Research Challenges Our Assumptions

Does remediation really work? A key Randomized Control Trial assigned 907 students to test new approaches, challenging assumptions and driving effective math reform.

I often talk a lot about the fundamental approaches I use with reform. I do this by showing you what works, what doesn’t, and how your school compares to others. Let’s discuss instrumental research that drives these approaches.

A study that I find very useful, “Should Students Assessed as Needing Remedial Mathematics Take College-Level Quantitative Courses Instead? A Randomized Control Trial,” randomly assigned 907 students to three controlled groups (with one being corequisite remediation).

As you’ll see, the outcome of such a study can test your assumptions and challenge your beliefs, which in my mind, can be a very good thing.
