• Deconstructing Remediation in Community Colleges: Exploring Associations Between Course-Taking Patterns, Course Outcomes, and Attrition from the Remedial Math and Remedial Writing Sequences (2012, unknown): “…2006; Perin and Charron 2006), and our understanding of remediation has grown considerably through recent studies that employed large datasets and/or sophisticated methods of analysis (e.g., Attewell et al. 2006; Bahr 2007, 2008a, b, 2010a, b, c; Moss and Yeaton 2006; Roksa and Calcagno 2010).”
• Help or Hindrance? The Effects of College Remediation on Academic and Labor Market Outcomes (2010, methodology): “3 Three earlier studies also used a regression discontinuity design (Aiken et al. 1998; Lesik, 2006; Moss & Yeaton, 2006), but all had small sample sizes, making it difficult to carry out narrow comparisons at the treatment assignment threshold.”
• The Impact of Developmental Education on Community College Persistence and Vertical Transfer (2014, background): “Researchers have also begun to examine programmatic impacts specific to English courses finding that outcomes for students enrolled in developmental courses were similar to those enrolled in college-level English (Bettinger & Long, 2005; Moss & Yeaton, 2006).”
• Challenges and Opportunities for Improving Community College Student Success (2010, unknown): “…found short-term positive effects on student persistence (Attewell, Lavin, Domina, & Levey, 2006; Bettinger & Long, 2005; Calcagno & Long, 2008; Jepsen 2006; Moss & Yeaton, 2006), whereas other rigorous studies find no impacts on degree completion (Calcagno & Long, 2008; Martorell & McFarlin 2007).”
• Remediation in the Community College (2008, background): “Yet, they also found evidence that community college students who successfully complete remedial courses have better educational outcomes than similar non-remedial students, a result that is consistently supported by previous research (Lavin et al., 1981; Moss & Yeaton, 2006).”
• Using a Regression Discontinuity Design to Estimate the Impact of Placement Decisions in Developmental Math (2015, methodology): “…were placed in lower-level math courses had subsequently worse educational outcomes than students who were placed directly in higher-level courses (Calcagno and Long 2008; Clotfelter et al. 2014; Martorell and McFarlin 2011; Moss and Yeaton 2006; Moss et al. 2014; Scott-Clayton and Rodriguez 2015).”
