Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Middle level school reform has recently been placed center stage in an effort to improve student achievement. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the implications of block scheduling on a middle level school and whether its implementation increased student achievement. The three questions guiding the research and analysis were as follows: 1) did block scheduling support increased student achievement; 2) did the increased instructional time provide a platform for teachers to change instructional practices; and 3) did block scheduling provide an avenue to promote teacher collaboration? Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from state standardized tests and teacher surveys in order to evaluate the impact of block scheduling. The analysis of state testing results showed increased student achievement for all demographic groups once block scheduling was implemented. Teacher responses to the survey were consistent with the literature review and generally positive. Based on these results, although no direct cause and effect relationship exists between block scheduling and student achievement, the data clearly shows an environment was created through block scheduling for teachers to influence student achievement.

Book excerpt: This book investigates school schedules by examining the use of time at the middle level and discussing strategies that schools may use to provide greater flexibility to the school day. Eleven specific scheduling models are presented and described. Complementing the models is a discussion of the factors that propel a school's investigation of alternative schedules. The manual views time as a resource and discusses ways to empower teachers to use time to make decisions. It also considers the role that adolescence plays in schedules and presents tips on how to schedule activities with this in mind. The text examines the importance of scheduling, outlines some scheduling myths, and explores the "block-time" schedule at length, considering its advantages and disadvantages for administrators, teachers, and students. Some block-time models are provided. Other kinds of schedules that are considered include alternate day, rotating, and dropped schedules. The booklet explores ways to get started on scheduling reform, offering details on planning steps, whether or not to use a computer, simulations, building the schedule, the uses of singletons and doubletons, staffing decisions, and selecting staff members. The text concludes with strategies for manipulating the schedule by challenging regularities, focusing on students, and starting small. (RJM)

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.

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 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on middle-level schools and student achievement revealed a drop in academic performance when students transitioned from elementary school to a traditional middle school. In the United States, the middle school years have historically seen a decline in student achievement following a transition from elementary school. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the performance of United States eighth-grade students in mathematics continued to lag behind globally based on the 2015 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (U.S. Department of Education, 2017). Specifically, United States eighth graders were ranked 12th in mathematics, which was three notches down from eight years prior. Similarly, the Louisiana Department of Education (2018), found Louisiana students struggled in mathematics compared to other tested subjects. In addition, middle school student achievement in Louisiana revealed consistently lower performance in mathematics compared to the other content areas. The purpose of this study was to determine if a particular scheduling practice had a significant effect on overall student math performance in Louisiana public middle schools. The sample population for the study included 179 schools containing grades six, seven, and eight. An independent t-test was conducted with the data for each of six hypotheses to determine if there was a difference in the group mean proficiency and mastery scores on the mathematics portion of the 2018 state assessment in Louisiana public middle schools that implemented either a traditional or block schedule. Based on the results of the independent t-test of the sample population, sixth graders in block scheduled schools demonstrated significantly higher proficiency and mastery scores on the math portion of the Louisiana assessment in the spring of 2018. In addition, seventh graders in block scheduled schools demonstrated significantly higher mastery scores on the math portion of the Louisiana assessment in the spring of 2018. While not significant in all cases, the mean proficiency and mastery scores for sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade math on the Louisiana assessment in 2018 were higher in the sample schools utilizing block scheduling. Recommendations from the study include using the schedule as only one factor for a school improvement effort.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The researcher conducted an ex post facto study using archival test data to answer the research question, "What are the relationships of varying periods of time among middle schools using the block scheduling model and the academic achievement of sixth grade students in reading and mathematics?" The independent variable in the study was school schedule (traditional or block scheduling model), the dependent variables were students' academic growth in reading and mathematics as measured by test scores on North Carolina's End-of Grade Tests from 1996-2000. Independent group t-tests were used to test for significant differences in the mean growth scores in both reading and mathematics between the traditional and the block scheduled schools for three years after implementing the organizational change at the sixth grade level in five middle schools. The researcher's findings indicated that sixth grade students who received mathematical instruction in a flexible block model had statistically significant achievement differences at the 0.01 levels, when compared to traditionally scheduled sixth grade math students. Conversely, sixth grade students who experienced a change from traditional scheduling to block scheduling in reading did not obtain a statistically significant result (0.01 level of significance) at four of the five middle schools. One of the five schools did show statistical significance for the second and third year of block scheduling.

Download or read book The Effects of 4x4 Block Scheduling on High School Students' Achievement and Continuous Enrollment Rates written by Todd Walker and published by . 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.
