This book was released on 2006 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do students attending school on a year-round calendar outperform students attending school on a traditional calendar in reading and math? Mixed and inconclusive findings are reported in previous studies. This study examined the reading and math achievement of 2004-2005 fifth graders in three school-within-a-school year-round elementary schools located in the United States. An ex post facto comparison group posttest design was utilized. National percentile ranks on state selected standardized tests were analyzed. Overall, sixteen comparisons of year-round and traditional student achievement and growth were made. When mean scores were compared in reading and math achievement and growth, all four comparisons favored year-round education. Only one of these four differences, fifth grade national percentile rank, was statistically significant. When student level variables were controlled, four reading comparisons were not statistically significant. However, all four math comparisons were statistically significant when student level variables were controlled. This study found that year-round calendar students statistically outperform traditional calendar students in a school-within-a-school setting in mathematics.

Book Synopsis Year-round Education, Year-round Opportunities by : Claire Quinlan
Download or read book Year-round Education, Year-round Opportunities written by Claire Quinlan and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An increase in the number of schools adopting year-round programs prompted this analysis of all year-round education programs in California. Chapter 1, "Introduction to the Study," outlines study organization and calendar scheduling plans. "Design of the Study," chapter 2, describes data obtained from interviews, surveys, databases, site visits, and California Assessment Program files. Chapter 3, "Academic Achievement in Year-round Schools," interprets achievement data. Compared to traditional schools, year-round schools most frequently serve lower socioeconomic communities and have twice as many limited and non-English-speaking students and a larger percentage of minority students. Many schools are not achieving at predicted levels, though single-track schools have the strongest performance. Chapter 4, "Cost Analysis," reveals that increased per-pupil costs compare with those of traditional programs. "Characteristics of the Year-round Education Program," chapter 5, discusses operations and survey results. Teachers experienced better quality instruction and preferred teaching year-round. Students had mixed feelings about school scheduling. Parents' overall satisfaction was positive. The final chapter, "Conclusions and Recommendations," indicates that year-round education is an acceptable alternative. Overcrowding is relieved, new school construction is avoided, and flexible curriculum planning and extended teacher employment are offered. Recommendations are provided to districts and state agencies. Twenty-one tables and 13 figures exhibit data findings; 5 appendices provide survey instruments. (CJH)

Book Synopsis Comparing Traditional and Year-round Academic Calendars in Regard to Student Achievement in Two Virginia High Schools by : Gregory Morin
Download or read book Comparing Traditional and Year-round Academic Calendars in Regard to Student Achievement in Two Virginia High Schools written by Gregory Morin and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined possible differences between a traditional and a year-round academic calendar with regard to student achievement in two suburban high schools in northern Virginia. This study’s importance derives from the fact that additional exploration is needed in order to more fully explore the potential loss of learned knowledge and diminished retention and recall of instructional material in students who experience an extended summer vacation period as part of a traditional school calendar. The purpose of this non-experimental, ex post facto, causal-comparative study was to test the theory of German psychologist, Hermann Ebbinghaus, called the spacing effect as it related to a comparison of the traditional school calendar and a year-round school calendar. While existing research has suggested that a traditional calendar results in summer learning loss, the current study did provide some support to the assumption that a summer learning loss had a long term impact on the standardized test performance of students. In order to further examine this finding, a group of test scores from 100 seniors from each high school (for a total of 200), who shared similar demographic characteristics, were used to create the data set for the study. All the seniors from these two separate but similar high schools (located less than four miles apart) were required to take the end of year (EOY) Virginia standards of learning (SOL) test near the end of their senior year of high school. The SOL must be taken and passed in the spring of the senior year in order for a senior to graduate from high school. These schools employed different school calendars. One adhered to a traditional calendar, the other a year-round calendar. The Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) assessment is a timed test comprised of four comprehensive sections (math, science, reading, and social studies). This study used a non-experimental, causal-comparative (ex-post facto) research design with the independent variable being split into two non-manipulated groups (one traditional calendar and one year-round calendar), and the dependent variable being the pre-existing SOL test scores of the participants. Data were evaluated using independent-samples t-tests. Suggestions for further research which would enhance the validity of this area of research are discussed.
Book Synopsis Title I Eligible Schools by : Andrea Bray
Download or read book Title I Eligible Schools written by Andrea Bray and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate between the year-round school year vs. the traditional school year has been an ongoing one. For what groups of students would a year-round schedule benefit? In this study, schools eligible for Title I funds are compared. ACT and SAT scores from twelve year-round Title I eligible high schools in California are compared with twelve traditional calendar high schools that were Title I eligible during the 2010-2011 school year. The results of this study show that although all test scores were higher from the year-round high schools, no significant difference was found between the two school calendars compared.
Book Synopsis Balanced Calendar Versus Traditional Calendar by : Donovan Troy Sawyer (Jr.)
Download or read book Balanced Calendar Versus Traditional Calendar written by Donovan Troy Sawyer (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School accountability is increasing with federal mandates. As public schools investigate strategies to raise students’ achievement scores and graduation rates, some have implemented a modified school calendar. Schools are focusing particularly on the academic success of students from third-grade through twelfth-grades, as these are the grade level performances where accreditation is determined. However, recent studies have shown that the most imperative work happens in the primary grades, including a link between third-grade reading success and graduation rates (Annie E. Casey Foundation, 2010). The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the relationship between reading achievement and the balanced or traditional school calendar for Kindergarten through third-grade students who are considered to be reading below or well-below grade level. This study examined the progress of 266 students who attended schools using two types of school calendars in one suburban school district: the balanced calendar and the traditional school calendar. The results for this study found that the relationship was not statistically significant (p = .750) between growth of reading skills for struggling readers in grades Kindergarten through third and the type of calendar used in the school that they attended. There was, however, a deeper analysis that looked at groups of children and one group, Kindergarten males, was found to be statistically significant (p = .470)
