Class Size

With chapters by an international team of experts on class size effects, including Maurice Galton and John Hattie, this book seeks to move toward a clearer view of what we know and do not know about class size effects, and identify future steps in terms of policy and research. Chapters are organised into four main sections: 1) Socio-cultural and political contexts to the class size debate in the East and West, 2) Research evidence on class size, 3) Class size and classroom processes likely to be related to class size changes, and 4) Professional development for small class teaching in East Asia.
