Abstract
Debate about class sizes in schools is long standing and contentious. In this review we show much research is limited and outdated, with an exclusive concern with pupil academic outcomes. This Special Section seeks to extend the literature on class size in two ways. First, it addresses what goes on in classrooms which might account for any effects found, and it also examines professional development approaches to making the most of teaching opportunities afforded by class size. Second, it reflects the shift of research on class size from the USA and the UK to elsewhere in Europe and in East Asia. This Section aims to provide a timely and significant advance on the rather tired debate over class size.
