Editorial Comments
Tis Fall 2007 issue marks the 4th anniversary of the NADE Digest. We want to extend
our appreciation to all the authors who submitted work for publication; your ideas reflect
the creativity, scholarship, and dedication so indicative of developmental education profes-sionals. Tanks to our hard-working editorial staff of reviewers; your thoughtful comments
and close readings resulted in an outstanding diversity of articles and a strong foundation
on which to build.
Building on strong foundations is integral to our first article, Motivating Basic Writers
through Self-Assessment and Goal Setting. Susanna K. Horn encourages her students to
view themselves as a community of writers through building on past successes, critically
assessing their writing, setting appropriate writing goals, and following through on them
with workable strategies.Speaking of strategies, who among us hasnt used a sports analogy in the classroom
to spark interest? ony Lerma provides several come-from-behind stories to illustrate the
positive effects of cooperative learning in his College Algebra classes. Cooperative Study
Groups: Give your Students the Home eam Advantage reveals that self-esteem and suc-
cess rates rose when his students worked in study groups.
Sherri Latimer and Shannon Johnson detail how reading, writing, analyzing and per-
forming poetry improved their students reading skills in Te Road Less raveled: Poetry
and Videotape in a Developmental Reading Class. Students selected one poem to read
aloud, and then reviewed the videotapes, resulting in more focused reading, stronger ana-lytical skills, and a new appreciation for vocabulary and syntax.
Once again, the significance of building a strong foundation is explored in Student
Voices: Te Literacy Histories of Developmental reading Students in a South exas Col-
lege. Authors Arlene Ready and Paula Parson argue that developmental reading curricu-
lum must include explicit strategies to help students acquire and maintain positive reading
experiences if they are to become successful readers and lifelong learners.
Are you enamored with prepositions? Or are you afraid from them? Concerned on the
direction English is going to? Susan J. Behrens and Cindy Mercer offer an interesting lin-
guistic background and study of how their students, both native and non-native speakers
of English, employ prepositions. Te Style of Which this is Written: Neutralizations of
Prepositions in English urges us not to ignore prepositions as small words of little impor-
tance, rather to instruct our students in their significance while appreciating the flexibility
of this dynamic, if diminutive, part of speech.
In our last article, What Were Tey Tinking? Decision-Making in the Experiences of
College Students at Risk, Stephen O. Wallace uses an ecological framework to examine
how and why students make decisions. Wallaces article provides a firm foundation for
understanding students decision-making process.Finally, as NADEs 2008 conference theme reminds us, developmental educators must
continue to devise revolutionary methods with which to improve the success of our stu-
dents. We hope these articles provide innovative ideas for all of you to implement in your
own classrooms.Mary Ann Bretzlauf, Laura Villarreal,& Mollie ChambersCo-Editors

Motivating Basic Writers throughSelf-Assessment and Goal-Setting
It has long been established that self-assessment and goal-setting are regularfeatures of the writing process of experiencedwriters. It has also been demonstrated thatstudents develop more power and controlover their writing when they are encouragedto become their own evaluators. Terefore, tohelp beginning writers think and act morelike successful writers, teachers must integratereflection and self-assessment as core compo-nents of English writing instruction. Tisarticle summarizes how one Basic Writingcourse actively engages students in consis-tent formal and informal self-assessment and
goal-setting activities that encourage them todevelop a writerly mindset as they modifytheir behaviors to better approximate those ofexperienced writers.

DEVELOPINGAMOIVAING MINDSE Many first-year students approach college with uncertainty, butthe first day of Basic Writing class can be structured to help studentsrealize that they are already experts who understand the tremendouseffort it takes to succeed, whether in music, sports, hobbies,interpersonal relations, household management, or professionalareas. Teir new challenge is to think and act more like experienced
writers. o help students come to know the sometimes hard-wonjoy of writing, perceptive instructors should encourage them todraw upon their past successes, to apply their self-assessment skillsto the writing process, to set suitable writing goals, and to followthrough with appropriate strategies. Te process is an ongoing one;therefore, self-assessment and goal setting must be integral elementsof the course not occasional assignments, but vital aspects of
Basic Writers development, present every time they write. Ideally,these processes will become fundamental to our students personaldevelopment as well important features of a scholarly mindset, amindset that constantly questions, probes, and challenges studentsto shape, to reach for, and to grasp their goals.

Cooperative Study Groups:Give Your Students
the Home eam Advantage
In this article I discuss the factors that ledme to implement study groups in the teach-ing of mathematics. An important in-
fluence in this decision began with anexperimental study conducted with twoCollege Algebra classes in which studentswere randomly assigned to treatment groups.While there was no statistical differencebetween the study groups on the posttestthat was used to measure achievement, it isimportant to note the positive effect on the
students. In addition, suggestions are given onhow to implement cooperative study groups in
your mathematics classroom.

COOPERAIVE LEARNINGTe support and encouragement that an athlete receives can
also be advantageous for the student who is trying to succeed in amathematics course. It is for this reason that I strongly encouragemy students to form cooperative study groups in all of my classes.Cooperative learning is the instructional practice of placing stu-dents into small groups, or teams, and having them work togethertoward a common goal. Each member of the team is responsible,not only for learning what is taught, but also for helping team-
mates learn.I c c . T

to prepare themselves for tests, I took a more structured approachtoward cooperative study groups when I conducted an experimentalstudy with two college algebra classes in order to examine the effectsof cooperative study groups upon achievement in College Algebra.Te model that I used for the study is given below.

MEHODOLOGYEach student in the experimental study was exposed to the same
instructional approach. Tis consisted of a lecture-discussion deliv-ery where students took notes and asked questions. Both classes were
given the same homework assignments and chapter tests. It is impor-tant to note that each student was aware that some individuals wereworking in a group and some were not. I was the instructor for bothCollege Algebra classes involved in the experimental study.
HE RESULSAND NOESTe statistical analysis indicated no significant difference in the
mean scores of the experimental and control groups on the posttestthat was used to measure achievement at the .05 level (t = -0.381,p = .706). Te descriptive statistics for the posttest means of the studygroups are presented in able 1. Te mean given is the number correctout of 34 problems.

Te periodic reports mentioned earlier, serve as minutes for the groups
sessions and keep me updated on the group activities. Tese informalreports are submitted every other week by one of the group membersand must be signed by all members. Te reports simply detail theactivities of the group sessions such as time and place where the groupmet, duration of the meetings, a brief overview of the meetings, andproblems or concerns that the group encounters. Members take turnssubmitting these reports to me. I used the data from these reports to
determine the role of each student during the study sessions.Most of group sessions are held outside of class where the study
groups work on homework assignments or study for tests. Occa-sionally, I do assign group projects in class. Tis allows me to havefirst-hand knowledge of the level of participation of each student.

Te in-class projects count as homework grades which accountsfor 30% of the semester grade. Te in-class project usually involves
solving three or four problems from the lecture and is assignedthe last 15 or 20 minutes of the class period. Each group mem-ber receives the same grade on all group assignments, however allstudents work individually on the exams. If a student is notdoing his/her share of the work during the group session, it will beevident when I grade their exam.

Te Road Less raveled:Poetry and Videotape
in a DevelopmentalReading Class
Developmental reading students respondpositively to poetry. Tis genre engages themand intimidates less than prose. Reading
poetry aloud further improves their readingskills because students feel compelled to in-crease their knowledge and abilities and topay closer attention to the text when they arerequired to perform. Videotaping perfor-mances heightens this desire to read well andallows students to assess their abilities when
viewing the tape.

Reading poetry opens up a whole new world for students.While most poetry assignments start and stop with silentreading, the genre lends itself to being read aloud. Indeed, manypoems were written for oral performance. Reading aloud in class forcesstudents to pay closer attention to the poems in front of them, if forno other reason than they are performing in front of their peers. Byreading aloud students can hear themselves which helps them identify
problems and monitor progress (Opitz, Rasinki, & Bird, 1998). Oralreading gives students a deeper appreciation of the way a poem sounds,its rhythm, rhyme, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and other elements. Itmakes reading the poem a richer experience for the reader and allowshis peers to enjoy it as an audience. Reading aloud improves studentsconfidence and competence (Ash, 2002). o heighten this effect andto give students an opportunity to view their work and improvement,
videotaping readers is a fun way to get students excited about reading.

chosen. During these discussions, students were allowed to readtheir poems if they wished. Listening to both the poetry and the
discussion helped them develop listening comprehension andvocabulary. Several students eagerly volunteered to read, while othersdid not want to read at all. Te instructors took part in this exercisediscussing their poems and reading them aloud modeling goodreading and verbalization skills. Tis practice allowed students toread in a supportive environment which increased their comfort andcompetence in reading. Te instructors participation demonstrated
several things for the students: possible elements to analyze in apoem, types of questions to ask, and how to read poetry orally. Tisexercise also exposed students to different poets and different typesof poetry. One of the highlights of this activity was that severalof our international students read or recited poems in their nativelanguages. Tus, we were treated to poetry in Spanish, Arabic, andKorean. Tis was an especially valuable experience for the native
Arkansans who had never strayed far from their rural homes.

READING POERYALOUDo prepare our students for the final phase of the unit, reading
poetry aloud before a video camera, we played them an episode ofthe HBO program Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry. Te showfeatured a variety of poets reading their work. Students were toldto focus on the poets presentation: their enunciation, pace, body
movements, facial expressions, etc. Afterwards we discussed readingpoetry as a type of performance asking them to think about howthey would read their poem to bring out its meaning and emotion.

as a class. Watching the tape gave the students an opportunity to see andhear themselves recite the poems they had chosen. Tey were able tolisten and determine what was good and bad about their performancesand were able to learn from their mistakes. Although students weresometimes critical of themselves, they were very supportive andencouraging of their peers. Everyone found it entertaining and watchingthe tape proved to be a welcome break at the end of the semester.

IMPLICAIONS Tese poetry exercises, like the entire course, have a higher goal:to enable students to read on a college level. Reading poetry aloudand before a video camera develops skills that students can applyto their reading assignments in any course. Firstly, these activities
help students become more focused readers. By having to readaloud students are forced to read every word; they become aware ofwhich words and concepts they do not understand and realize theimportance of elements such as word order, punctuation, changeof font or font size, use of bold, italics, underline, etc. Tey learnhow to identify what problems they have with the text and how toovercome those diffi culties. Tese abilities are crucial for any type
of reading.S, c

Student Voices: Te Literacy Historiesof Developmental Reading Students
in a South exas College
Te purpose of this study was to develop aprofile of the literacy histories of developmen-tal reading students enrolled in a South exascollege. A literacy history questionnaire wasused to collect written responses regardingthe students early literacy experiences priorto entering the college setting. Analysis of thewritten responses indicated that the studentshad a positive attitude towards reading dur-ing elementary school which declined as theymoved into the upper grades. Te positive as-pect of the results is that the students did not
have an overwhelmingly negative attitude to-wards reading, thus leaving their instructorswith the opportunity of helping them developa more positive attitude towards reading ingeneral. Suggestions for classroom practicewill be discussed.

Te Style of Which Tis isWritten: Neutralization of
Prepositions in English
We have noticed a change in the use of prepositions in English. In our work withstudent essays, we increasingly encounternon-standard uses of prepositions, such ascc , , and
. Tis trend is evident in both native andnon-native American English speakers.We believe that the English preposition-al system is moving towards an eventualneutralization of the distinction in the prep-ositional category. Parallels are evident in thevariability of prepositions in Old English, as
well as in modern creolized languages, whichexploit a few all-purpose prepositions, themeanings of which are evident by context.Our findings highlight the nature of Englishas always changing, as it assimilates featuresfrom each new generation of speakers. Wediscuss the datas implications for develop-mental education teachers, who are increas-ingly confronted with non-standard preposi-tional use.

.As academics trained in the descriptive, anti-prescriptive
discipline of linguistics, we are in a position to note thesechanges without inferring lack of English skills on the part of ourstudents. Furthermore, we consider dialect differences thatdiverge from Standard American English a natural part of a languagesorganic nature. We raise the issue of the current state of prepositions
as evidence that language constantly changes, and that good teachersare attuned to the linguistic competence of their students.

What Were Tey Tinking?Decision-Making in the
Experiences of CollegeStudents At Risk
Te ability to make appropriate deci-sions is a key to college success. Some collegestudents appear to not make satisfactoryacademic progress, not because they lackability or desire, but because they make academicdecisions that seem to put them at risk.Assisting students to make appropriateacademic decisions is a primary objective fordevelopmental education professionals. Tisarticle proposes an ecological framework for
investigating decision-making in the expe-riences of college students at risk. By help-ing students at risk to better understand thedynamic forces that shape their senses of identity and that affect their decision-mak-ing experiences, we can better assist them tomake decisions appropriate to achieve their
academic and personal goals.

ENVIRONMENALINFLUENCE CONEXSEcology theory proposes that all aspects of human develop-
ment are interconnected, much like the threads of a spiders web;therefore, the focus should be on understanding the whole con-text rather than attempting to isolate the various aspects. Bron-fenbrenner (1989) argues that the developing individual is em-bedded in a series of progressively more complex and interactive
systems. What happens in one setting influences the others. Forexample, family problems at home can impact a students aca-demic performance at school, and changes in federal and statepolicies may greatly impact the opportunity for some students topursue college degrees.
