  1. (SI) Supplemental Instruction MSJC – MVC Results 5 Semesters FA’06,’07,’08 SP’07,’08 Source: MSJC MVC Math Coordinator – Janice Levasseur Compiled: MSJC R&P Dept. – XCHAS Ext7073 - 2.10.9

  2. SI Elements: • Courses – historically difficultcourses • SI Leader – passed course with an ‘A’ – paid for attending all classes with current class – does not re-lecture – leads/facilitates discussion – shares study strategies – viewed as a peer • Sessions – ‘ two’ one hour sessions per wk – planned around students • Session – group participation • Participant – attended at least oneSI session – attendance is voluntary Source: MSJC MVC Math Coordinator – Janice Levasseur Compiled: MSJC R&P Dept. – XCHAS Ext7073 - 2.10.9

  3. Data Source Janice Levasseur – MSJC MVC Math Coordinator 867 students – enrolled • 410 SI Group (47% participation rate) • 357 Non-SI Group 5 Semesters - 20 courses sessions • FA06 - Math:140 • SP07 - Math: 90, 105, 140 • FA07 - Math: 50, 51, 105, 140 • SP08 – Math: 50, 51, 90, 96, 105 • FA07 - Math: 50, 51, 90, 96, 105, Psyc 101, Hist 124 M50 /51= Pre-Algebra M90 = Elementary Algebra M96 Intermediate Algebra M105 = College Algebra M140 = Statistics Psyc 101 = Intro Hist 124 = U.S. Source: MSJC MVC Math Coordinator – Janice Levasseur Compiled: MSJC R&P Dept. – XCHAS Ext7073 - 2.10.9

  4. Benefits of SI … • increased course grades • decreased % of withdraws • increased success rates

  5. Source: MSJC MVC Math Coordinator – Janice LevasseurCompiled: MSJC R&P Dept. – XCHAS Ext7073 - 2.10.9 Approximatelyhalf (47%) of the all students attended at least oneSI session. 563-one hour sessions were conducted generating over 2,500 contact hours 46% participation

  6. Successful completions in the SI Group (69%) far exceed the Non-SI (40%). The % of ‘Ws’ were significantly higher amongNon-SI Group (33%) relative to the SI Group (13%), ‘W’s and ‘F’s account for over ½ of non-SI grades. Grade DistributionSI versus Non-SI group FA’06/SP’07/FA’07/SP’08/FA’08 Success Rate 69% 51% Source: MSJC MVC Math Coordinator – Janice Levasseur Compiled: MSJC R&P Dept. – XCHAS Ext7073 - 2.10.9

  7. SI -StatsFA’06/SP’07/FA’07/SP’08/FA’08 • Participants attended on average 6+sessions • The mean # of students per session were 4+ • A SI session requires an estimated 3 attendees to be cost effective Source: MSJC MVC Math Coordinator – Janice Levasseur Compiled: MSJC R&P Dept. – XCHAS Ext7073 - 2.10.9

  8. Grade Point AverageSI versus Non-SI group FA’06/SP’07/FA’07/SP’08/FA’08 The mean final grade avg. of SI participants 2.5 was 0.6(over 1/2 grade point) higher than the Non–SI participants. Source: MSJC MVC Math Coordinator – Janice Levasseur Compiled: MSJC R&P Dept. – XCHAS Ext7073 - 2.10.9

  9. Students that attended more SI sessions received higher grades # of SI Sessions Attended Mean Final Grade Avg. Received SP08 Source: MSJC MVC Math Coordinator – Janice Levasseur Compiled: MSJC R&P Dept. – XCHAS Ext7073 - 2.10.9

  10. Key Findings & Next Steps: • Math 96 – 2nd semester of supporting with SI with up side down results(2 different instructors) Next step: determined the cause before further M96 SI support is given on MVC Hypothesis – i.e. possibility due to under-prepared M90 entering M96 • - “test prep”=1 to 4 sessions attendees • Summer session SI – 4 sections SU08 with little or no success- summer students tend to be stronger academically Next step: MVC will not run SI in future summer sessions • Increases success rate • Selection of courses are data based driven • BSI funded - 3 classes (math 50,51,96) as a result SI courses will be offered in: history (FA’08,SP09) psychology (FA’08,SP09) Spanish (SP’09) • SI growth sources: funding (not a replacement for tutoring) availabilityof SI leaders (trained & experienced) seasoned SI coordinator (trained, experienced & dedicated champion)
