This book was released on 2011 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact block scheduling has on (a) student academic achievement, discipline, and attendance, and (b) administrator, teacher, and student perceptions. The study compared 2005-2010 data from a high school utilizing the A/B block schedule and a high school under a traditional schedule, in one suburban school district. The study used mixed methods. The quantitative data described, analyzed, and interpreted reading and math FCAT [Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test] scores, attendance rates, and discipline referrals from 2005-2010. A total of seven repeated ANOVAs were conducted to analyze the difference between the two schedule designs with respect to two achievement indicators; reading and math FCAT scores. The qualitative data offered a voice to administrators, teachers, and students, and was gathered through individual face-to-face, email, or phone interviews. The quantitative findings for the study yielded the following conclusions: (1) students experienced higher FCAT reading scores on the A/B block schedule than the traditional schedule; (2) students experienced higher FCAT math scores under the traditional schedule than the A/B block schedule; (3) attendance rates decreased for students under the A/B block schedule and increased for students under the traditional schedule; and (4) discipline referrals decreased at a higher rate for students under the traditional schedule than students under the A/B block schedule. The administrator, teacher, and student perceptions contributed to the following qualitative findings for the study: (1) block scheduling fosters extended learning sessions when properly planned; (2) with fewer transitions discipline issues decreased; (3) attendance was not affected by the block schedule; (4) block schedule allows for the implementation of various instructional strategies; and (5) transitioning from a traditional to a block schedule was thought to be difficult at first, but attainable, and would alleviate any feelings of being rushed. Four appendixes present: (1) Florida High School Report Card; (2) Interview Questions; (3) Participant Consent Form; and (4) Parental Permission Form. (Contains 22 tables.).

This book was released on 2012 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A good deal of research has been conducted on the effect that block scheduling has on student engagement and student academic success. As one of the teachers selected to teach the block format class, the researcher was interested in learning whether the block class was indeed serving its purpose of increasing the number of students that passed Algebra A. The studies reviewed and the need to determine the academic outcome of the block classes, helped lead to the main research question: Is there a relationship between block scheduling and academic achievement in lower level math students at Case High School? The researcher hypothesized that there is a positive relationship between passing rate and the block schedule.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation was designed to examine the impact that single-gender scheduling would have on students who attend a struggling Title I middle school in the northeastern part of Mecklenburg County, N.C. (1) This middle school had the majority of its students performing below grade level on standardized tests, exhibiting poor performances in the classrooms, and high levels of behavior problems. In addressing these issues, it was determined that a need for a new approach to scheduling and teaching existed. Based on existing research, if single-gender education has a positive impact, it seems to be most evident in populations similar to the demographics of this sample school. (2) The analysis led to identifying two specific priorities: first, that single-gender classes be an integral element of the master schedule; and second, that training for teachers is needed, specifically in techniques of teaching and learning among specific genders. The purpose of this research was to determine the impact of the single-gender scheduling on this student population by analyzing academic evaluation data, attitudinal surveys, attendance rates, and discipline data. (3) Summary of findings. Unforeseen changes occurred in this school during the research period that could have had profound effects on the research outcomes. This study only speaks of this setting, at this time. (a) Academic growth. There is evidence of some positive impact in the school overall, as male classes showed the most growth; but in the school as a whole, coed classes showed more growth than female classes. Grade 6 growth was led by the male classes, then females, and lastly, coed. Grade 7 showed the most growth in coed classes, followed by males and then females. Grad 8 was led by females, followed by males, with coed showing the least growth. Two of the three grade levels showed the least amount of growth in the coed classes, suggesting that there is a positive aspect of the single-gender scheduling in academic performance. (b) Attitudes. The attitudinal surveys, both student and teacher, provided the most positive results of all aspects of this research. The most statistically significant difference between genders was in the result of female students feeling more comfortable learning in front of other females. (c) Attendance. For the third research question, on the impact of single-gender scheduling on attendance, there seemed to be no impact for female classes and coed classes, but evidence of a negative impact on males. Thus the finding on this research question went against the findings on the other questions. Possible explanations of this finding are discussed. (d) Behavior. The data for the fourth and last research question, on the impact of single-gender scheduling on behavior, showed no significant impact when single-gender and coed classes were compared. There was no difference in the number of office referrals written, or the infractions for which they were written. (e) Overall, it seems that the positive impacts of single-gender scheduling outweigh the negative, and the areas in which there is no impact, or negative impact, can be addressed now that they have been identified. It is recommended that this school continue its single-gender program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the perceptions of both regular education and special education teachers concerning the impact that block scheduling has on the social, emotional, behavioral, and academic growth and success of high school students with an IEP in three school districts in south central Pennsylvania. The study also investigated whether teachers perceive block scheduling as a positive or negative factor in the effective education of high school students with an IEP. Data were collected through an online survey that included Likert-scale questions, open-ended responses, and one-to-one interviews. Forty-four regular education teachers and thirteen special education teachers from three public school districts in south central Pennsylvania participated on this survey. The findings of this study suggest that regular education and special education teachers both perceive, at comparable degrees, that block scheduling provides the time to build better relationships within their classes, allows teachers to better understand their students with an IEP, go deeper into the content, while providing a school climate that is slower and less chaotic. Even though there were many similarities, there were also discrepancies in the perceptions between regular education teachers and special education teachers when asked if the grades of students with an IEP improved in the block schedule.
