摘要：In this investigation, we examined the college readiness in math of Texas community college students using archival data from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Data analyzed were the rate of all fist-time in college (FTIC) developmental education students who scored below the Texas college readiness standards in math and the rates of FTIC developmental math students who completed a college-level math course with a grade of A, B, or C within a three-year period, at Texas community colleges for 2003 through 2008. Statistically significantdifferences were not present between 2003 and 2008 with respect to the variables analyzed herein. The percentage of FTIC developmental students who scored below the Texas college readiness standards in math were 40.63% in 2003 and 41.07% in 2008. For the percentage of FTIC developmental math students who completed a college-level math course with a grade of A, B, or C within a three-year period, only 5.44% met this criterion in 2003 and 5.57% in 2008. These results reflect no improvements with respect to math college readiness scores of Texas community college students during this time period. As such, a re-evaluation of initiatives to improve math college readiness is warranted.
