J. K. Lindsey et M. Cherkaoui : The Relation between Class Size and Scholastic Success.
This article critically examines the popular notion that students' scholastic progress is inversely proportional to the size of their classes. Simultaneously taking into consideration six variables ? scholastic success, class size, sex, social class origins, type of curriculum (classical or modern) and kind of school ? this study combines a regression model of the first three with a covariance analysis involving the last three. Two conclusions emerge. First, in the classical curriculum of secondary schools, the relationship between the number of students in a class and their scholastic success is identical regardless of their social class origins. Second, the opposite holds in the other cases. In fact, success increases with class size for students coming from less favored social classes but usually diminishes for those from the privileged ones. Hypotheses concerning socialization at home and at school can help explain this turnabout. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
