| Abstract | This Information Capsule examines the background and history in addition to research findings pertaining to class size reduction (CSR). This Capsule concludes that although educational researchers have not definitively agreed upon the effectiveness of CSR, given its almost universal public appeal, there is little doubt it is here to stay in some form. That is not to say CSR does not benefit student achievement particularly in the primary grades, but rather the effects may be small and the optimism of educators regarding CSR should be tempered with the real world problems to which it is directly and indirectly associated. If large-scale CSR programs lead to lower teacher quality which in turn leads to negative impact on student achievement, this may offset any positive gains of smaller classes and therefore greatly reduce the effectiveness of CSR. The most prominent among its drawbacks appears to be high cost and the lack of cost effectiveness. These issues of course take on additional significance given the current economic climate. Some experts claim improvements in teacher quality and restructuring teacher preparation programs are more cost effective alternatives. These topics will be addressed in a future Information Capsule prepared by Research Services. (As Provided). |
