A thirteen week bridging course curriculum was designed and implemented to assist mature adult women from a low socio-economic region to gain access to tertiary level education. The course was located at a postsecondary college within the participants' neighbourhood, and presented by a woman staff member of the tertiary institution to which the women were guaranteed entry contingent upon successful completion of the course. The curriculum focussed explicitly on both academic and non-academic requirements for successful tertiary study. In the academic strand, significant changes from Concrete to Abstract modes of Learning Style were observed, while in the nonacademic sphere, there was a significant change of preference from Feeling to Thinking styles of decision-making. Twenty one per cent of participants withdrew and indicated that the course had provided sufficient insight that they were not willing to make a continuing commitment to study at such a demanding level. For all participants, the bridging course succeeded in informing the women's decisions and equipping the majority with skills essential for tertiary level study. |
