Building College Readiness: Theories and Practices

https://doi.org/10.21686/1818-4243-2021-3-

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Building College Readiness (CR) is a significant factor in promoting college success and higher education (HE) student learning outcomes. This review was aimed at 1) Exploring theories and practices in building CR; 2) Examining the Ethiopian CR policy and Ethiopian Preparatory for HE (PP) curriculum through the lens of the theories and practices around the world. To achieve these objectives, the extant literature reviews were conducted. The study found that the Ethiopian CR curriculum, admission processes, and practices in teaching-learning show gaps in theories and practices. Also the review analysis shows that the current building college readiness has spread its roots in societal and ecological grounds than ever before. For this reason, the traditional school-based college readiness building should be supplemented by the current research oriented, and community-based or ecological one.

KEYWORDS: College Readiness; Meritocracy; Equity; Quality
