Paradise Regained: An Apodictic Analysis of the Relationship Between School Size and Public Achievement.
Coladarci, Arthur
Research in Rural Education, v2 n2 p79-82 Fall 1983
A humorous examination of research on effects of institution size on pupil progress reveals evidentiary and inferential errors, naivete, intellectual puritanism, and rational extravagance. Revised, reinterpreted, and confirmed by two new studies, the literature shows a near-unanimous finding: the smaller unit definitely is superior to the larger in pupil achievement. (NEC)
