EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BLOCK-BASED LEARNING MODEL IN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS

Abstract. Block-based learning has proven to be an innovative and increasingly effective teaching approach in modern teacher education. It is characterized by a structured, intensive, and modular organization of learning content. In contrast to traditional, linear, and fragmented lesson models, block-based learning allows prospective teachers to focus on specific pedagogical topics within clearly defined learning units. This purposeful activity aims to develop deeper understanding, increase knowledge retention, and strengthen the practical application of educational theories. Given ongoing educational reforms and increasing demands on teacher professionalism, evaluating the effectiveness of such models has become an important research focus. This study examines the impact of block-based learning on the development of pedagogical competencies, lesson planning, and classroom management among prospective teachers. The aim of the study is to determine whether structured learning blocks contribute to a more effective integration of theory and practice and support the professional development of future teachers.
