Authors- S. Kawinganesh, Assistant Professor G. Anburaj
Abstract-This paper looks into the effects of class size on student learning outcomes. Learning outcomes include academic performance, peer interactions, and teaching effectiveness. Data analysis of the responses given in the questionnaire indicates that smaller classes enhance student engagement and academic success. It provides teachers an opportunity to give one-to-one attention to every student. Some students perform well irrespective of their class size, therefore implying the impact of teaching quality as well as individual learning styles. The paper deals with logistics in “smaller classes” while arguing for a multifaceted approach aiming at integrating class size reduction with high-quality instruction and adequate resources toward the best learning outcomes possible.
