The effects of block scheduling versus traditional scheduling on Georgia End-of-Course Tests
by Floyd, Pamela, Ed.D., TREVECCA NAZARENE UNIVERSITY, 2009, 107 pages; 3366110

Abstract:

This study examined one high school's change in its scheduling format from a 4x4 block scheduling to a seven period day. The instructional time in the classroom changed from 90 minute classes on the 4x4 block schedule to 50 minute classes on the seven period day schedule. 1187 test scores in American Literature and U.S. History from high school juniors were utilized. Data were collected in two consecutive school years, using End-of-Course Test (EOCT) scores in American Literature and U.S. History. Using the EOCTs, an ANCOVA was run using Criterion Referenced Competency Test scores as a pretest for the students in the study. A detailed analysis is provided with a discussion of statistically significant differences in test score results.
