Abstract
The Educational Developmental Center (EDC), through the MCCWDTA grant, was commissioned to create contextualized developmental modules in the industry sectors of Healthcare, IT, and Advanced Manufacturing. In the spring of 2013, Quinsigamond Community College ran three pairs of developmental courses, with one section in each pair contextualized and one section not contextualized. The purpose of this study was to see if, in comparison to the noncontextualized sections, the contextualized curricula had an effect on the students enrolled in the contextualized sections.
