Show moreThe purpose of this study is to determine if there exist effective components in past and present curricula for underprepared, black junior college students. The four criteria of effectiveness used in this study include: (1) attrition rate, (2) grade-point average, (J) student motivation, and (4) faculty response. The method consists of a survey of the literature on past and present remedial programs and of analysis of selected programs to find successful components and to determine the reasons for their effectiveness. A model remedial program composed of the preceding four components is presented. Its purpose is to help underprepared, black students in the junior colleges overcome problems which are barriers to continuation in at least junior college programs. Now, it is necessary to apply and evaluate the model for its effectiveness.
