Abstract | Issues related to contemporary assessment and remediation in postsecondary education are considered, along with the impact of these issues on community college and university articulation and transfer. Program innovations implemented at Cochise College (Arizona) to serve basic skills education students are described. Community colleges face a new issue of how to educate the diverse students they receive, especially the underprepared. What is needed is a method of separating those students who have an existing capacity to do academic work from those whose aptitude needs to be developed through remediation. One approach is to incorporate basic skills courses in traditional department offerings. At Cochise College each program is individually designed to meet the specific remediation needs of a student. In Arizona 43% of the community colleges allow some remedial coursework to meet graduation requirements. At Cochise College, 6 of the 60 semester hours required for graduation are allowed to be from remedial classes. (SW) |
