Download or read book The Effects of Full day Kindergarten on the Long term Academic Achievement of Students written by Laura Fong and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the quality of kindergarten instructional programs and their relation to student academic achievement come under scrutiny from policy makers and educators, greater demands are placed on students to enter school prepared to learn. Some programs operate on the traditional half-day model in which students attend school during either a morning or an afternoon time frame which includes classroom instruction, lunch, and recess time. Other schools have adopted a full-day kindergarten model in which students attend school the same amount of minutes per day as the other elementary grade levels. The purpose of this study was to determine if the amount of minutes of instruction per day in kindergarten programs affects the long-term academic achievement of students in English language arts and mathematics as measured by the California Standards Test (CST). Archival data of student CST scores were retrieved for the 2012-2013 school year from a unified school district located in the Central Valley of California. Student scores were statistically analyzed by utilizing a t-test for independent means. The results of the statistical analysis indicated that there was no significant difference in English language arts or mathematics achievement between third grade students who had attended a half-day kindergarten program and third grade students who had attended a full-day kindergarten program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite dramatic increases in the percentage of 5-year-olds enrolled in full-day kindergarten, initial discussions about whether to offer public full-day kindergarten are still controversial in many communities. This report examines claims about benefits and detriments of full-day kindergarten, presents research findings, and describes reasonable approaches to the issue for teachers and administrators. Following introductory remarks, the report details full-day kindergarten claims and counterclaims regarding benefits of extra instructional time, opportunities for enrichment activities, and reductions in child care costs for families, as well as disadvantages related to student adjustment and need for additional teachers. The report then summarizes reviews of full-day kindergarten research between 1970 and 1997 and describes two recent experimental or quasi-experimental studies. Among the conclusions about full-day kindergarten is that full-day students consistently progress further academically during the kindergarten year compared to half- or alternate-day students. There is tentative evidence that full-day kindergarten has stronger, longer-lasting academic benefits for children from low-income families. There is no current, strong evidence that academic achievement gains of full-day kindergarten persist beyond first grade. There is no evidence of detrimental effects of full-day kindergarten. The report indicates that further research is needed to examine the long-term impact of full-day kindergarten and recommends that half-day kindergarten remain an option for families who have educational resources, value time at home with their 5-year-olds, and desire a more gradual introduction to formal schooling. Implications for administrators, teachers, and parents are delineated. (Contains 26 endnotes, and a list of 26 additional resources and 9 related Web sites.) (KB)

Book The Effect of Full day Kindergarten on Student Achievement

Download or read book The Effect of Full day Kindergarten on Student Achievement written by Rodney David Smith and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This case study examined the full-day kindergarten program and its impact on student achievement. The assessment data were collected from the DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) assessment taken from half-day and full-day kindergarten students in the Shawnee Mission School District. The DIBELS assessments were administered at the beginning of the school year (pretest) and at the end of the school year (posttest). Each tested indicator was analyzed and compared among students to make recommendations for intensive instructional support. This study used a two-way ANOVA when two types of factors divided students into two comparable groups. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine if there were any significant differences between the treatment methods of select half-day and full-day kindergarten students in reading achievement as measured by the DIBELS assessment administered during the 2006-2007 school year in the Shawnee Mission School District. Data were collected from 597 kindergarten students by analyzing DIBELS scores from the fall and spring. This study was quantitative and consisted of data collected from the DIBELS assessment. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used when one factor or treatment variable (achievement of full-day kindergarten students) was explored and there are more than two groups within this factor. Data analyzed from this case study gave appropriate feedback as to the overall impact of the full-day kindergarten on student achievement. While there was some improvement in the DIBELS scores of those students participating in the full-day program, the results were not significant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study to examine data from a small rural Midwest town to determine if everyday full-day kindergarten students in the district gain an academic advantage over their part-time kindergarten peers, in the subjects of Reading and Math. NWEA Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) were used to measure Reading and Math academic achievement. Everyday full-day and part-time kindergarten mean fall and spring MAP scores were compared. The results indicate that everyday full-day kindergarten students demonstrated a statistically significant advantage in Reading and Math at the end of kindergarten and the beginning of first grade. After first grade, the advantage diminished. The results of this study are generally consistent with previous research.
