Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine how schools utilizing block scheduling and traditional scheduling models differ in achievement levels on the five Georgia End-ofCourse Exams (EOCT) and the Georgia High School Graduation Writing test (GHSWT) at two high schools in rural South Georgia. The researcher investigated if there is a differential benefit in terms of higher EOCT/GHSWT scores during block or traditional scheduling when considering demographic variables student gender, race, or SES. No experimentation occurred as the study relied on historical data. Both high schools were examined individually; comparing the five EOCT's and the GHSWT under the block schedule during the 2011-2012 school with the same exams under the 7-period traditional schedule during the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 school terms. The design comparison for this quasi-experimental study was a 2-group non-random selection design comparing each school to itself rather to each other. Each school is very different in terms of student demographics; therefore the examination with each school is imperative. This study used quantitative statistics so that clear concrete data is used to show evidence to which schedule students performed best on from a standardized assessment view. In addition, descriptive statistics was used including means and standard deviations. A multi-way ANOVA with 6 factors (schedule, sex, race, SES, classification, and school year) was used to determine if a significant difference existed between the students instructed on a 4 x 4 block schedule and students instructed on a seven-period day traditional schedule. The multi-way ANOVA allowed for testing of interactions among predictors. The interactions helped show if any specific sub-groups benefited more operating under one scheduling model than another. After an in-depth study and analysis of a Test score comparison between block and traditional scheduling of two schools and twelve subject areas, the results indicated a significant difference in mean scores by school year in two of the twelve subjects. Writing scores at School 1 were significantly different indicating the change from block to a traditional schedule was a positive move, and Biology scores at School 2 were significantly different indicating the change from block to a traditional schedule was a positive move. However, at both schools in all twelve areas, the overall mean test score slightly increased each year indicating the possibility the move from block scheduling to a more traditional scheduling model could be positive given more time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a statistical difference between end-of-course grades in Algebra II at three high schools in northeast Tennessee and mathematics content scores on the ACT Assessment at the same three high schools, by comparing a one-semester accelerated (4x4) block schedule, a two-semester accelerated (4x4) block schedule, and a traditional year-long schedule. The purpose was also to determine if a relationship exists between Algebra II grades and ACT Assessment mathematics content scores for all students and for each school, and to determine if a statistically significant difference occurred in the number of students who continue their mathematics education by taking Trigonometry among the three different teaching schedules. Seven null hypotheses were tested. Analyses showed a significant difference in grades among the three schedules, but not among the ACT Assessment mathematics scores. When comparing grades and ACT Assessment mathematics scores for the total population and for each schedule, a positive relationship occurred each time. When testing the last null hypothesis, it was determined that a significant difference occurred in the type of teaching schedule and enrollment in Trigonometry.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the federal legislation of No Child Left Behind, public schools were graded on student standardized test results, and this grade affected a school's funding. This action research study examined the premise that a school's bell schedule affected student standardized test scores. To accomplish this, the researcher used a rural Georgia high school of approximately 1600 students. This action research project contained both quantitative and qualitative data. Results from the quantitative data were derived from an ANOVA. Qualitative data were from researcher-designed surveys given to the faculty, staff, administration, and students of the high school. A school's bell schedule did not affect a majority of student standardized test scores.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this research was on the effect of school schedules on student achievement for ninth-grade students in a Florida school district. Data were collected from two central Florida high schools from the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school years. Five one-way analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) were performed to ascertain if there was any interaction between school schedules and student achievement. Examined were the interactions (a) between schedule and schools, (b) schedule and male students, (c) schedule and female students, (d) schedule and Black students, and (e) schedule and Hispanic students. The independent variable, school schedule, consisted of two levels: traditional schedule and A/B block schedule. The dependent variable was the spring Algebra 1 End- of-Course Examination (EOC), and the covariate was the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) Mathematics Eighth-grade Development Scale Score. School schedule was not significantly related to students' spring Algebra 1 EOC scores, F(1,788) p = .932. School schedule was not significantly related to male students' spring Algebra 1 EOC scores, F(1,392) p = .698. School schedule was not significantly related to female students' spring Algebra 1 EOC scores, F(1,393) p = .579. School schedule was not significantly related to Black students' spring Algebra 1 EOC scores, F(1,186) p = .545. School schedule was not significantly related to Hispanic students' spring Algebra 1 EOC scores, F (1,184) p = .700.
