Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the academic and social effects of a half-day kindergarten experience when compared to a full-day kindergarten experience. Three specific questions were posed prior to the research: Do children entering first grade with a full-day kindergarten experience demonstrate a clear academic and social advantage over half-day children? Does this advantage remain present through the fourth grade? Did the length of the kindergarten day affect the following areas: attendance, retentions, suspensions, qualifying scores for Title I services in second grade, and the number of students identified for special education services? This was a cross sectional, causal comparative design. Five grade levels, K-4, were evaluated during the 2004-2005 school year. Two Ohio school districts with similar demographics were selected for this study, one offering full-day kindergarten and the other district offering half-day kindergarten. The independent variable for this study was the length of the school day. The dependent variables were academic measures (Dynamic Indicators Basic of Early Literacy Skills, Third and Fourth Grade Achievement Tests, Fourth Grade Math Proficiency Test), attendance, retentions, suspensions, Title I qualifying scores, and the identification of special education students. An analysis of variance was performed on all academic measures to determine those comparisons that were statistically significant. The remaining variables were compared through a chi square analysis. The results of the analysis of variance did show a clear academic advantage for students in kindergarten and first grade who had received a full-day kindergarten experience. However, all academic measures administered in second, third, and fourth grade were not statistically significant, thus suggesting that the advantages of full-day kindergarten were not present after first grade. The chi square test performed on the remaining variables found that the number of third grade students who had experienced half-day kindergarten and were identified to receive special education services to be significant. The length of the kindergarten day did not appear to have any significant effect on the other variables analyzed by the chi square test.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of the report is to provide useful information to Indiana policymakers as they debate the merits of full versus half day programs. This report sought to answer three questions: (1) What does the national research say about the effectiveness of full day kindergarten; (2) What does the Indiana data say about full day kindergarten; and (3) How is time used within full day kindergarten programs? Finally, the report concludes with a series of recommendations regarding Indiana policy on full day kindergarten.

Book excerpt: Educational sociologists have paid relatively little attention to children in middle childhood (ages 6 to 12), whereas developmental psychologists have emphasized factors internal to the child much more than the social contexts in explaining children's development.

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)

This book was released on 2001 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to determine whether half-day or full-day kindergarten was more academically beneficial as determined by students' third grade TAAS scores. One hundred fifty-four students from full-day kindergarten and 282 students from half-day kindergarten were selected from seven schools in Tarleton State University service area. The independent variable was the type of kindergarten program in which the students participated. The dependent variable was the students' reading and math TAAS scores. The results indicated that there was no significant difference between reading TAAS scores of students from full-day and half-day kindergarten programs. However, students in full-day kindergarten scored significantly higher on the math TAAS test than students in half-day kindergarten.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined reading level differences between students enrolled in full-day kindergarten or half-day kindergarten programs at the end-of-kindergarten and beginning-of-second grade within a southeastern Pennsylvania school district. This quantitative research analyzed Developmental Reading Assessment, Second Edition scores from 1,238 students, involving 2,376 unique DRA2 tests, to examine potential reading level differences between half-day and full-day kindergarten students. At the end of kindergarten, full-day kindergarten student reading scores were found to be significantly higher when compared to half-day students. A comparison of scores from the beginning-of-second grade found full-day kindergarten students to score higher than half-day peers; however, this difference was not statistically significant. When measuring reading growth from kindergarten to second grade, half-day kindergarten reading growth was slightly higher than full-day, but this difference was not statistically significant. A final analysis using independent sample t-tests, along with an ANCOVA controlling for any reading differences at the end of kindergarten, showed no significant difference between groups. While full-day kindergarten students significantly outperforrned halfday counterparts at the end-of-kindergarten, once reading differences at the end-of kindergarten were controlled for, the programmatic treatment of half-day kindergarten and full-day kindergarten had no appreciable effect on beginning-of-second grade reading levels.
