Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate differences between schools which utilize "Block Scheduling" and those which utilize "Traditional Schedules" for student grade point averages, student daily attendance, student behavior/discipline, and student satisfaction with school. Procedures. Using data from an initial survey of Missouri school leaders which revealed the prevalence of block scheduling in the state, schools were selected to participate in the study. Twenty schools using block schedules were selected. Twenty schools utilizing a traditional schedule were selected to serve as a comparison group. Approximately 25 students from each participating school were selected from the first non-honors senior English class on the school's master schedule. Each student involved in the study was asked to complete an initial demographic survey, respond to two open-ended questions, and complete a Student Satisfaction Survey. School personnel were asked to provide each student's cumulative grade point average, the number of days they missed school during their junior year, and the number of behavioral/disciplinary referrals received during their junior year. Findings. Of the 497 public Missouri high schools, leaders from 163 schools (33%) indicated they would implement some form of block scheduling for the 1996-97 school year. Of the 163 Missouri high schools with some type of block scheduling, 61 percent have an eight-block schedule. The ten-block schedule is the second-most common (17%), followed by the four-block schedule (10%). Block scheduling is a recent trend in the state of Missouri. Of the 163 Missouri high schools with some form of block scheduling, only 29 schools reported that they had those schedules before the 1994-95 school year. Leaders from 102 Missouri high schools reported that they had implemented some form of block schedule since the 1995-96 school year. There were no statistically significant differences between block-scheduled schools and traditionally-scheduled schools in the areas of senior student grade point averages, the mean number of discipline referrals received, and student attendance. Students enrolled in traditionally-scheduled schools expressed greater levels of satisfaction with school on two subscales of the NASSP Comprehensive Assessment of School Environments (CASE) Student Satisfaction Survey. A post-study analysis of the impact of school size on the variables of this study revealed that school enrollment was a factor that could have influenced the results. Further research is recommended to investigate the issues of school size, length of time a school has used a block schedule, and the nature of instructional practices before conclusions can be drawn about the impact of block scheduling on student variables.

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.

Book excerpt: Adams and Salvaterra show how block scheduling can help teachers become more creative in instructional strategies and find higher satisfaction on the job. Students' grades improve, they can complete more courses and administrators and faculty can become more student-centered, discussion-oriented, and focused on complex academic tasks. Staff development and continual training throughout the change process are keys to implementing successful changes. Block Scheduling will help each school find its own pathway to success.
