Abstract: Block scheduling is a way of designing class schedules where fewer courses are offered for a shorter number of meetings yet increasing the number of class hours per day, thus still covers the required number of hours for a course. This study was conducted to determine the perception of professional course teachers and general education course teachers toward block scheduling. It employed comparative descriptive design considering 76 teachers at a tertiary school in Tangub City. These teachers were chosen using convenience sampling technique. A researcher-made survey questionnaire with seventeen (17) statements was used to gather the teachers’ perception on the advantages and disadvantages of using block scheduling. The results revealed that the tertiary education teachers agree on all the statements describing the advantages of Block Scheduling. Professional course teachers agreed on the disadvantages of block scheduling. However, general education course teachers disagreed on most of the disadvantages of block scheduling. The advantages of Block scheduling are more favored by the general education course teachers than the Professional course teachers while the latter agree more on the disadvantages of block scheduling than the former. It was recommended that the institution can continue implementing block scheduling specially for online classes.
