ERIC Review: Issues in Developmental Education

Abstract

With increasing numbers of ill-prepared, first-time community college freshmen, developmental education has become an important topic within the higher education community as well as with the public. This article discusses the meaning and extent of developmental education in community colleges and higher education; presents some of the current controversies being discussed at institutional, state, and national levels; examines some of the data related to outcomes of developmental education; and addresses the issue of faculty training in the field.
