Using a Regression Discontinuity Design to Estimate the Impact of Placement Decisions in Developmental Math (2015, methodology): “Although some of the aforementioned studies have examined shorter-term outcomes such as completion of subsequent college-level courses (Boatman and Long 2010; Calcagno and Long 2008), or grades in the remediated subject (Scott-Clayton and Rodriguez 2015), our paper focuses on an underexplored but…”
An Examination of the Impact of Accelerating Community College Students' Progression through Developmental Education (2014, background): “…results may generalize only to developmental students who fall just below the threshold of admittance into collegelevel english and math. more recently, Rd studies have begun to focus on students near lower-level developmental cutoffs (Boatman & long, 2010; dadgar, 2012; hodara, 2012; xu, 2013).”
Development, Discouragement, or Diversion? New Evidence on the Effects of College Remediation Policy (2015, background): “…just above and below remedial test score cutoffs, has found mixed evidence at best regarding whether assignment to remediation actually improves student outcomes (Bettinger and Long 2005, 2009; Calcagno and Long 2008; Boatman and Long 2010; Martorell and McFarlin 2011; Dadgar 2012; Hodara 2012).”
The Community College Route to the Bachelor’s Degree (2015, result): “A number of studies with high internal reliability have investigated the impact of remediation, but results have been inconclusive (Bettinger & Long, 2009; Boatman & Long, 2010; Calcagno & Long, 2008; Martorell & McFarlin, 2011).”
Improving the Targeting of Treatment (2012, background): “…at the margin between higher and lower levels of remediation have found less negative and some positive effects of being assigned to the more intensive remedial treatment (Boatman & Long, 2010; Dadgar, 2012; Hodara, 2012, however, finds large negative effects of assignment to a lower level).”
