Definición

  • The National Association for Developmental Education (NADE) has defined developmental education as “a comprehensive process that focuses on the intellectual, social, and emotional growth and development of all students.” This definition reflects the American Council on Education's historical documents on the student personnel point of view, which promoted a focus on the “whole” student, as well as student development theories that focus on identity development and self-actualization. In the United States, however, the term developmental education continues to be used interchangeably with historical terms like preparatory, remedial, and compensatory education.
