Abstract:

Since the turn of the 21st century, the emporium model has become a popular choice for colleges and universities to reform developmental mathematics. The purpose of this study is to determine overall how successful Northeast Metro College (NMC)â€™s emporium developmental mathematics program is as compared to its traditional lecture-based program by comparing these two programsâ€™ student pass rates in developmental courses. This research is a non-experimental, secondary data quantitative analysis study with nonrandom convenience samples. The findings indicate that generally emporium classes prepare students for passing developmental mathematics more successfully than traditional lecture-based classes do.

Keywords:

Developmental mathematics, Emporium model, Pass rates.
