Matriculation Evaluation: Summary Report, 1991-92.
Alkin, Marvin C.; Freeman, Marie
In California community colleges, state-mandated matriculation consists of services intended to enhance student success and processes to improve institutional effectiveness by developing capacities for evaluation, coordination, and training. Each year, the Chancellor's Office conducts evaluations to assess the extent to which matriculation is being implemented by the state's community colleges. During the 1991-92 evaluation, matriculation processes at 20 colleges were reviewed by 3- to 6-member site visit teams. The evaluation found that, generally, components were well-implemented, and improvement was noted in most components. Admission, orientation, assessment, and counseling and advisement were the most thoroughly developed components, with noted improvements in assessment since the previous year's evaluation report. Colleges generally made the least progress in implementing student follow-up and research and evaluation components. This report presents 1991-92 findings on: (1) coordination and training; (2) admission; (3) orientation; (4) assessment; (5) counseling and advisement; (6) student follow-up; and (7) research and evaluation. Also highlighted are a number of effective practices at particular colleges which might serve as examples for other colleges. The "Team Member's Guide to the Matriculation Evaluation" at Mission College is appended. (KP)
