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.

Book Synopsis The Effect of Block Scheduling on Academic Achievement of Lower Level Math Students by : Susan Milder
Download or read book The Effect of Block Scheduling on Academic Achievement of Lower Level Math Students written by Susan Milder and published by . 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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare achievement from students who received math instruction in an alternate-day block period, with those on a traditional daily period schedule. The subjects consisted of approximately 3,100 students in 143 math classes from a large suburban high school. Six quantitative math achievement measures from the spring of 2003 were gathered as evaluative instruments. Comparisons were analyzed using ANOVA, t-tests, and Pearson's chi-square test. Pearson's r was performed on correlational data. All alpha levels were .05. The null hypothesis was not supported. There were statistically significant relationships between math achievement and schedule type. The results of the study show that students in a daily format math course consistently outperform students in alternate-day block courses.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Block Scheduling on Student Achievement, Attendance, and Discipline at the High School Level by : Smooth (Poet)
Download or read book The Impact of Block Scheduling on Student Achievement, Attendance, and Discipline at the High School Level written by Smooth (Poet) and published by . 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.).

Purcell (III) and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Block schedules afford the educator extended periods of time with which topics can be exlored in greater depth, as well as offering the opportunity to do hands on work, which might not be feasible during the time allowed in a traditional schedule. Middle school students in particular, who are just beginning to explore abstract thought, are ripe for exploring subjects during an extended block of time. It is for these reasons that many schools have looked at block scheduling as an alternative to the traditional model that consists of equal length periods scheduled throughout the day.
Book Synopsis A Study of Standardized Test Scores for Middle School Students Before and After the Block Schedule was Introduced by : Erin Marie Falk
Download or read book A Study of Standardized Test Scores for Middle School Students Before and After the Block Schedule was Introduced written by Erin Marie Falk and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Block scheduling is a newer school scheduling structure, first appearing at the middle school level in the mid-1990's (Juvonen, Le, Kagenoff, Augustine, & Constant, 2004). Middle school advocates have supported block scheduling because research shows it meets the social-emotional and developmental needs of middle school children. Yet, little research on the impact of block scheduling on middle school standardized test scores currently exists. Using a sample of classrooms from a suburban public school in New Jersey, this study sought to compare standardized test scores in math, language arts literacy, and science of 8th grade students before and after the implementation of the block schedule. Twenty-seven one-way ANOVAs (accounting for subject, gender, and special education population) were conducted to assess for significant differences between testing years. Post hoc analyses were also conducted when differences were found. Overall, the study found no significant differences in standardized test scores in the area of science. A planned comparison of pre and post block scheduling standardized test scores revealed statistically significant decreases in mathematics and language arts literacy scores, but a second planned comparison which used data from fewer years revealed only significant decreases in language arts literacy scores which is believed to be a result of the 50% decrease in language arts literacy class time. Varied results by gender were also found. In contrast, special education students' test scores remained the same in all content areas over the seven years. While there are many limitations to the generalizability of these results, it is clear that further research on block scheduling at the middle school level could inform educational practice in these times of high stakes testing.
