  1. MSJC Fall 2009 BSISupplemental Instruction (SI) MSJC SI Coordinator: Janice Levasseur, M.S. MVC Math Center Coordinator Instructor of Mathematics

  2. SI Elements: • Course Selection • historically difficultcourses • funding • SI (student) Leader • passed course with an ‘A’ • paid for attending all classes • does not re-lecture • leads/facilitatesdiscussion • shares study strategies • viewed as a peer • SI (review) Sessions • ‘ two’ one hour sessions per wk • planned around students • group study/participation • Participation • attended at least oneSI session • attendance is voluntary

  3. Courses - 9 Sections supported SJC – 4 sections Math 50, 51, 90, 96 MVC – 5 sections Math 50, 90 (2), Engl 62, Engl 98 Coordination District Coordinator: Janice Levasseur SI Mentors: SJC – Evelyn Menz, MVC – Michelle Eynon Fall 2009 MSJC BSI SI Source: MSJC SI Coordinator – Janice Levasseur Compiled: MSJC R&P Dept. – XCHAS Ext7073 - 1/31/10

  4. Census enrollment - 328 students 139 SI students (42% participation rate) SJC – 70 SI students (out of 158 - 44%) MVC – 69 SI students ( out of 170 - 41%) 74 SI students (53%) attended 5+ SI sessions Contact hours 1060 student contact hours with SI Leaders SJC – 401 hours MVC – 659 hours BSI SI Data Source: MSJC SI Coordinator – Janice Levasseur Compiled: MSJC R&P Dept. – XCHAS Ext7073 - 1/31/10

  5. SI Participants attended on average 7.6 sessions The mean # of students per session was 4.4 A SI session requires an estimated 3 students to be cost effective. 7.6 5 Source: MSJC SI Coordinator – Janice Levasseur Compiled: MSJC R&P Dept. – XCHAS Ext7073 - 1/31/10

  6. Increased course grades 2.34 SI vs. 1.64 non-SI Decreased attrition rates 14.4% SI vs. 27.5% non-SI Increased success rates 63.3% SI vs. 41.8% non-SI District Benefits Source: MSJC SI Coordinator – Janice Levasseur Compiled: MSJC R&P Dept. – XCHAS Ext7073 - 1/31/10

  8. Grade Point AverageSI versus Non-SI group The mean final grade average of the SI participants 2.34 was 0.70 higher than the non-SI participants. 8 Source: MSJC SI Coordinator – Janice Levasseur Compiled: MSJC R&P Dept. – XCHAS Ext7073 - 1/31/10

  9. 43%of all SJC SI participants attended 5 or more SI sessions. 59% of all MVC SI participants attended 5 or more SI sessions. # of SI Sessions Attended Mean Final Grade Average The students who attend regularly benefit more from SI than those who only attend before exams. 9 Source: MSJC SI Coordinator – Janice Levasseur Compiled: MSJC R&P Dept. – XCHAS Ext7073 - 1/31/10

  10. SI effective form of academic supportfor BSI classes 63.3% success rate for SI participants vs. 41.8% success rate for non-SI participants F09 realized the first successful outcome in Math 96 – will consider reinstating support if funding is available. Benefits for BSI SI participants incorporation of study skills building a connection to peers and college extra support during crucial time in education SI challenges: space – introduction of college hour helped but is not the cure availability of SI leaders – can’t set the SI schedule till they register SI Leaders  early registration? funding needed for SI Mentors – 35 sections of SI (12 BSI supported) in Sp 10 semester trained & experienced help with SI Leader observations) Key Findings and Next Steps Source: MSJC SI Coordinator – Janice Levasseur Compiled: MSJC R&P Dept. – XCHAS Ext7073 - 1/31/10

  12. MSJC – SJC BSI ResultsFall 09 SI success 56% NonSI success 44% 24% 17% • Census Enrollment: 158 SI Group: 70 (44%) • Student Contact: 401 Hours • SI GPA: 2.40 Non SI GPA: 1.75

  13. MSJC – MVC BSI ResultsFall 09 SI success 71% NonSI success 40% 31% 12% • Census Enrollment: 170 SI Group: 69 (41%) • Student Contact: 659 Hours • SI GPA: 2.38 Non SI GPA: 1.52

  14. MVC Success Rates F’07 thru F’09 SI supported sections F’07 – F’09 SI participants had the highest success rates, followed by the success rates when SI was not present in class, and lastly the success rates for those who elected to not participate in SI. * Math 96 has consistently produced up-side-down results at MVC (support was cut after the F’09 semester.)

  15. MVC Attrition Rates F’07 thru F’09 SI supported sections F’07 – F’09 SI participants had the lowest attrition rates, followed by the attrition rates when SI was not present in class, and lastly the attrition rates for those who elected to not participate in SI.
