abstract |
This contribution describes and evaluates a postsecondary remediation program in mathematics,
aiming to ease the transition from high school to university and to improve the success
rates in the first year of bachelor studies. The remediation program consists of the
administration of an entry test and the organisation of voluntary bridging education
in the format of an online summer course, using the adaptive e-tutorial ALEKS. Participants
are prospective students of the university programs business and economics of Maastricht
University, and are mostly students with an international background. Effect analysis
suggests a strong treatment effect of successful participation in the summer course.
However, given the quasi-experimental setup of this study, with non-equivalent groups,
selection effects may be responsible for part of that effect. Correction of the treatment
effect by applying the propensity score method indicates that indeed a selection effect
is present, but that a substantial treatment effect remains, of about 50% the size
of the effect of being educated in advanced math versus basic math, in high school. |
