Evaluating Early-Alert Midterm Grade Reports: Quasi-Experimental Evidence From a California Community College
Thu, April 27, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Ballroom Level, Hemisfair Ballroom 2Abstract
The effects of the establishment of an “Early Alert” midterm grade report program were investigated. Using a quasi-experimental design and controlling for regression to the mean (RTM), the study examined successful course completion rates, for instructors adopting the program and a control group of non-adopters – both before and after the establishment of the program – at a public California community college. A two-factor analysis of variance showed a significant main effect for (RTM), F(1, 311) = 24.57, p < .01, η2 = .073. Neither the main effect for instructor adoption of the Early Alert program, F(1, 311) = 0.19, or the interaction effect, F(1, 311) = 0.39, were significant. Implications for educational policy and future research are discussed.
