This book was released on 2015 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The academic achievement of high school students in the United States has remained behind in science and mathematics compared to other industrialized nations. Block scheduling is a reform movement that may increase proficiency rates of high school students in the areas of science and mathematics and increase overall high school graduation rates. This study presents the effects of 4X4 block scheduling on student achievement and continuous enrollment rates. The researcher used archival test data to determine whether a significant difference existed in the California State Standards Test (CST) scores in life science between sophomore students who attended high school on a 4X4 block schedule and those who attended high school on a traditional schedule. The results of an independent t-test suggests that sophomore students who attended high school on a traditional schedule performed significantly higher than sophomore students who attended a high school on a 4X4 block schedule. This researcher also used archival data to determine whether a significant difference existed in continuous enrollment rates between students who attended a high school on a 4X4 block schedule and those who attended a high school on a traditional schedule. The results of the Pearson chi-square suggests that students who began high school on a 4X4 block schedule were more likely to stay until they graduated than students who began high school on a traditional schedule.

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.).

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.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study determined the impact of master scheduling models on student performance as reported by the AEIS database in the high schools of the SAISD. General student performance and the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills were the primary measures for comparison. The SAISD made a transition from an A-B blockschedule in 2002 to a traditional-seven period model in 2003. Conclusions have been made as to the degree of influence that traditional and block schedules have on student performance. The population of this study was the eight high schools of the SAISD. All students enrolled on these campuses were included in the data analysis. The population was14,418 students during the 2002-2003 school year and 13,689 in 2003-2004. Descriptive statistics and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were the measures utilized for the purposes of population comparisons and data review. Based on the findings of this study, there commendations for practice indicate the following: 1. Attendance ratings did not return statistical significance on a traditional schedule. 2. Advanced Course participation and AP/IB testing results returned statistical significance on a traditional schedule. 3. SAT and ACT did not return statistical significance on a traditional schedule. 4. TAKS Campus Performance did not return statistical significance on a traditional schedule. 5. TAKS Reading/ELA, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies scores returned statistical significance on a traditional schedule. 6. African American, Hispanic and Special Education Performance returned statistical significance in TAKS Science and TAKS Social Studies on a traditional schedule. 7. White Performance returned statistical significance in TAKS Science on a traditional schedule. 8. Economically Disadvantaged Performance returned statistical significance in each area of the TAKS assessment on a traditional schedule. 9. Limited English Proficient Performance returned statistical significance in TAKS Math on a traditional schedule.

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.
