Should We Reduce Class Size?
Holliday, William G.
Science Teacher, v59 n1 p14-17 Jan 1992
Reviews research related to the question of whether or not science class sizes should be reduced. Research is grouped into two categories: (1) empirical research on achievement; and (2) research on teaching methodology. Discusses the Robert Slavin/Harris Cooper debate, when results defy common sense, and the Tennessee-based Student-Teacher-Achievement-Ratio Project. (16 references) (MDH)
