The Impact of Block Scheduling on Student Motivation and Classroom Practice in Mathematics
Biesinger, Kevin D.; Crippen, Kent J.; Muis, Krista R.
NASSP Bulletin, v92 n3 p191-208 2008
Results are presented from a mixed-method investigation into the effects of Block Schedule on student self-efficacy, attitude, and instructional practices within the context of mathematics. Students exposed to block schedule showed no change in attitude toward mathematics, whereas those on a traditional schedule demonstrated a significant decrease. Students on block schedule also made significantly greater gains in self-efficacy. If reformed teacher practice is a goal of transitioning to block schedule, results point to a critical need for professional development. (Contains 7 tables.)
