This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this study was to determine the impact of block scheduling on VoCATS scores of Agricultural Education students in North Carolina. The research objectives of this study were to determine if block scheduling affects student performance on VoCATS assessments and to determine if there is a relationship between size of school and level of achievement of students on block scheduling. Data were collected using the survey method. Surveys were mailed to VoCATS coordinators of identified schools. The data were collected during the late summer of 1999. The use of block scheduling is prevalent in high schools in North Carolina. According to analysis of data, overall block scheduling does not have a significant affect on student achievement, however there were areas of significant differences noted. School size as an interaction with schedule type does not affect student achievement, however data analysis of schedule type reveled that it was significant in the interaction between schedule and school size of Horticulture I mastery scores. More research to determine effects of block scheduling other than just student achievement was recommended.

Book The Effect of Block Scheduling on Student Achievement

Download or read book The Effect of Block Scheduling on Student Achievement written by Neil D. Bucher and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The issue of time usage in educational institutions across America has been a topic of debate in the last two decades as some educators have seriously questioned the effectiveness of the traditional daily school schedule and the student learning that takes place within it. Block scheduling is a recent scheduling phenomenon seen in today's secondary schools in an effort to provide teachers a flexible school schedule that is more conducive to student learning and not so closely tied to time. This paper explores student achievement on both state and national standardized exams and compares any differences between students learning on a block schedule compared to those on a traditional schedule. With these results the reader will be better able to determine if block scheduling is an educationally sound method of restructuring time."--leaf 3.

Book The Impact of Block Scheduling on Student Achievement  Attendance  and Discipline at the High School Level

Download or read book The Impact of Block Scheduling on Student Achievement Attendance and Discipline at the High School Level written by Smooth (Poet) and published by . 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.).

Download or read book Effect of Block Scheduling on Student Achievement Scores on the Pennsylvania System of Assessment Eleventh Grade Math and Reading Exams written by Randall A. Grove and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study quantitatively examined the effect of block scheduling on student achievement. Specifically, the study compared student achievement as measured by the Pennsylvania System of School Assessments (PSSA) Reading and Math exams between students in block scheduled schools and traditionally scheduled schools. The sample for this study included over 53,000 individual student scores from public high schools in the south central region of Pennsylvania. The data sets used for analysis included individual student test results from the 2003, 2004 and 2005 administrations of the 11th grade PSSA Math and Reading Exams. This study utilized a hierarchical linear model analysis to examine the effects of school schedule type while attempting to control for student and school level variables. The dependent variables for level one were: IEP status, LEP status, economically disadvantaged status, gender and ethnicity. The dependent variables for level two were: school setting, percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and schedule type. Analysis of the data indicated that school schedules had no statistically significant impact on student achievement scores after controlling for student and school level variables. The study included an extensive literature review and implications for further research both nationally and in Pennsylvania. Contains 90 references.
