ABSTRACT
The intent of
this document is to inform teachers, administrators, and community
members of the Poway Unified School District about the
relationship between time and learning. It provides a review of
the available research and literature. The review begins with the
definitions of time, as related to students and their learning.
The document is divided into the following time factors: the
school day (allocated time); time-on-task (engaged time) and
academic learning time; kinds of time-on-task; student
characteristics; instructional strategies; subject matter; and
homework. The general findings for each time factor are provided
and include supporting statements from the literature.
In summary, a school’s most effective tool to increase student
achievement is its control over the academic learning time. Return
