Why Am I Doing This Twice? College Readiness.

      Аннотация: There is a problem in higher education with the continuing trend in the State of Georgia of students graduating with a 3.0 grade point average and needing remedial coursework at the collegiate level. The purpose of this study was to explain how recent students who graduated with a 3.0 grade point average in a high school college preparatory curriculum and placed in a remedial course understand and articulate their college readiness and high school experiences. This study specifically collected students’ perceptions on the dimensions of college readiness by examining their key cognitive strategies, their key content knowledge, their academic behaviors, and the college knowledge. The theoretical framework that guided this study is David Conley’s 2007 College Readiness model.
