  11. Mathematics: A National Challenge Source: Final report of the National Mathematics Advisory Panel

  12. NROC Developmental Math―An Open Program • Project Goal: Double the number of financially-disadvantaged students that pass developmental math and earn a college degree that has market value. Funding: $5M from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation $1M from The William & Flora Hewlett Foundation Project Audience: • Ages 18-80 (average age = 28) • Students have failed math at least once Objectives: • Provide learning activities to support an efficient path to credit-bearing courses • Offer multiple modes of instruction • Support multiple curricular standards • Allow for flexible course configurations with a collection of learning objects • Leverage the power of digital media

  13. NROC Development Approach Focus Groups/Pilots Research Technology & Engineering Product Design Professional Development Curriculum

  14. NROC Developmental Math Focus Groups Goals of the Focus Groups • Administrator and Faculty • determine shortcomings of existing teaching materials • better understand administrator and faculty use cases • feedback for product in development • develop pilot sites and adoption interest • Students • determine what digital learning materials students are using • better understand student use cases • feedback for product in development

  15. NROC Developmental Math Focus Groups Scope of the Effort • Conducted 57 roundtable discussions • More than 550 students, instructors, and administrators • Representatives from 146 academic institutions in 28 states

  16. NROC Developmental Math Focus Groups Focus Groups *Financially Disadvantaged Target Institutions

  17. Focus Group Key Findings Administrators and Faculty • Professional development is essential for supporting teacher success • Few instructors and institutions are satisfied with existing methods or digital options • Existing digital products: • too expensive, • inflexible curricula • proprietary management system • High value placed on flexibility, affordability, multiple pathways for learners

  18. Focus Group Key Findings Students • Keep it simple: struggling students and English language learners value simplicity • Real-world examples and application are a key to engagement • Puzzles, animations, simple illustrations, and problem sets are important • Humor, esoteric example, and idioms trip-up or confuse struggling students especially English language learners • Students appreciate and identify with the presenters and real work examples
