This study quantitatively examined the effect of block scheduling on student achievement. Specifically, the study compared student achievement as measured by the Pennsylvania System of School Assessments (PSSA) Reading and Math exams between students in block scheduled schools and traditionally scheduled schools. The sample for this study included over 53,000 individual student scores from public high schools in the south central region of Pennsylvania. The data sets used for analysis included individual student test results from the 2003, 2004 and 2005 administrations of the 11th grade PSSA Math and Reading Exams. This study utilized a hierarchical linear model analysis to examine the effects of school schedule type while attempting to control for student and school level variables. The dependent variables for level one were: IEP status, LEP status, economically disadvantaged status, gender and ethnicity. The dependent variables for level two were: school setting, percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and schedule type. Analysis of the data indicated that school schedules had no statistically significant impact on student achievement scores after controlling for student and school level variables. The study included an extensive literature review and implications for further research both nationally and in Pennsylvania. Contains 90 references.

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.

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.

"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.
