Effects of Increased Learning Time on Student Outcomes
Posted by U.S. Department of Education on August 4, 2014
Report on the effects of increased learning time
According to the report “The effects of increased learning time on student academic and nonacademic outcomes: Findings from a meta-analytic review”, out-of-school-time programs, as well as full-day kindergarten programs, can have a positive effect on student participants, such as improving students’ academic motivation, self-confidence and self-management. Effects vary by program and type of instruction and the authors of the report conclude that the elements of a program—such as program instruction and focus, the types of students targeted, and staff—have an impact on student outcomes.
