-
Indiana's Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporation began full-day, everyday kindergarten in four schools in the 1978-1979 school year. In 1980, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the first two years of full-day kindergarten was published. A longitudinal study of the effectiveness of full-day kindergarten, including information concerning grades one through four, was issued in 1983. This report summarizes the earlier two studies, adds information about grades five through eight, and ties together the various strands and grade-level results to determine the consequences of full-day kindergarten. The purpose of the study was to determine whether the students who completed full-day, everyday kindergarten in 1979 or 1980 obtained long-term benefits. These students were compared with students in half-day programs. Data were collected from standardized tests, report cards, school records, questionnaires, and interviews. Included in the report are approximately 20 pages of copies of newspaper articles concerning implementation of full-day kindergarten in Evansville. Articles reveal the high degree of interest in starting the full-day program. Concerns focus on student achievement, parent and teacher acceptance, attitudes, self-concept, attendance, participation in school activities, burnout, and content of the school day. (RH)
