Book excerpt: Purpose of the study . The purpose of this investigation was to study the effects of block scheduling in Missouri high schools on instructional strategies. The conceptual framework guiding this study is the relationship between time and teacher behavior. This study focuses on the effects of longer class periods on instructional strategies. Procedures . Using data from an initial survey of Missouri school leaders which revealed the prevalence of block scheduling in the state, schools were selected to participate in the study. Twenty-five schools using block schedules were selected. Twenty-five schools using traditional schedules were selected to serve as a comparison group. Approximately one-half of the teachers from each of the 50 schools were asked to complete a survey entitled "Survey of Missouri High School Schedules and Teaching Strategies." This survey was designed and field tested by the researcher. Findings . Six hundred seventy-eight surveys were returned from the original 1245 sent out for a 54% return rate. The statistical analysis of the dependent variables, instructional strategies, yielded the following results: (1) There is a statistically significant difference (Analysis of Variance test) in the use of the instructional strategies, discussions and research projects at the .05 level of significance. Research projects were reported in higher use in schools with traditional schedules, while the instructional strategy of discussions was reported in higher use in schools with a 10-block schedule. (2) There was also a significant correlation, as evidenced by the Pearson Product Moment Correlation, between the amount of inservice time provided to Missouri high school teachers and their use of cooperative teaching, group work, labs, and interdisciplinary teaming. Conclusions . The following conclusions were drawn: (1) The use of thirteen selected instructional strategies by Missouri high school teachers is not dependent on the type of schedule the school has. Surprisingly, the use of research projects is greater in schools with traditional schedules, while teachers in schools with 10-block schedules rated their use of discussions higher. (2) If a school decides to block schedule, teacher inservice can enhance the probable effectiveness of that schedule, especially in terms of the teachers use of four specific instructional strategies: cooperative teaching, group work, labs, and interdisciplinary teaming.

Book excerpt: Adams and Salvaterra show how block scheduling can help teachers become more creative in instructional strategies and find higher satisfaction on the job. Students' grades improve, they can complete more courses and administrators and faculty can become more student-centered, discussion-oriented, and focused on complex academic tasks. Staff development and continual training throughout the change process are keys to implementing successful changes. Block Scheduling will help each school find its own pathway to success.
Book Synopsis Block Scheduling and Its Impact on the School Library Media Center by : Marie Shaw
Download or read book Block Scheduling and Its Impact on the School Library Media Center written by Marie Shaw and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1999-02-28 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the country educators are facing the challenge of restructuring the secondary school to meet the needs of students in the twenty-first century. Block scheduling provides sustained time and fosters an environment for active and experiential learning, a key to student success in life. The author, who has spearheaded the adoption of block scheduling in her school's library media center, has prepared a complete guide for library media specialists contemplating or moving to block scheduling. In preparing this guide she has incorporated the experiences of twelve secondary school libraries across the country that have also moved to block scheduling. Step by step, this guide walks the library media specialist through planning, networking, curriculum and instruction, professional development, technology, and assessment. Practical suggestions, forms, lesson plans, and case studies of other media centers that have successfully adopted block scheduling will help the library media specialist to make the transition to the block. Block scheduling places a high demand on staff, materials, and information technologies. Shaw stresses that networking of people and resources is essential to successful adoption of block scheduling. She takes the reader through the planning and transitional phases of a high school adopting block scheduling and addresses concerns about instructional change, ongoing curriculum, and the role of the library media specialist as a teacher of information technology. She provides ideas on where to find professional development and how to network with other library media specialists with expertise in the block and offers practical suggestions on resource sharing, study hall, flexible scheduling, budget, collection development, substitute teachers, and assessment techniques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate differences between schools which utilize "Block Scheduling" and those which utilize "Traditional Schedules" for student grade point averages, student daily attendance, student behavior/discipline, and student satisfaction with school. Procedures. Using data from an initial survey of Missouri school leaders which revealed the prevalence of block scheduling in the state, schools were selected to participate in the study. Twenty schools using block schedules were selected. Twenty schools utilizing a traditional schedule were selected to serve as a comparison group. Approximately 25 students from each participating school were selected from the first non-honors senior English class on the school's master schedule. Each student involved in the study was asked to complete an initial demographic survey, respond to two open-ended questions, and complete a Student Satisfaction Survey. School personnel were asked to provide each student's cumulative grade point average, the number of days they missed school during their junior year, and the number of behavioral/disciplinary referrals received during their junior year. Findings. Of the 497 public Missouri high schools, leaders from 163 schools (33%) indicated they would implement some form of block scheduling for the 1996-97 school year. Of the 163 Missouri high schools with some type of block scheduling, 61 percent have an eight-block schedule. The ten-block schedule is the second-most common (17%), followed by the four-block schedule (10%). Block scheduling is a recent trend in the state of Missouri. Of the 163 Missouri high schools with some form of block scheduling, only 29 schools reported that they had those schedules before the 1994-95 school year. Leaders from 102 Missouri high schools reported that they had implemented some form of block schedule since the 1995-96 school year. There were no statistically significant differences between block-scheduled schools and traditionally-scheduled schools in the areas of senior student grade point averages, the mean number of discipline referrals received, and student attendance. Students enrolled in traditionally-scheduled schools expressed greater levels of satisfaction with school on two subscales of the NASSP Comprehensive Assessment of School Environments (CASE) Student Satisfaction Survey. A post-study analysis of the impact of school size on the variables of this study revealed that school enrollment was a factor that could have influenced the results. Further research is recommended to investigate the issues of school size, length of time a school has used a block schedule, and the nature of instructional practices before conclusions can be drawn about the impact of block scheduling on student variables.

Book Synopsis Implications of Block Scheduling on a Middle Level School by : Audrey C. Frank
Download or read book Implications of Block Scheduling on a Middle Level School written by Audrey C. Frank and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 102 pages. 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.
