After a brief introduction identifying current issues and trends in research on class size, this brochure reviews five recent studies bearing on the relationship of class size to educational effectiveness.

Glass and Mary Lee Smith: "Meta-Analysis of Research on the Relationship of Class Size and Achievement," and "Relationship of Class Size to Classroom Processes, Teacher Satisfaction, and Pupil Affect: A Meta-Analysis." Part 2 reviews "An Experimental Study of the Effects of Class Size," by Stan M. Shapson, from "American Educational Research Journal," (Spring 1980). Part 3 is a review of "Early Childhood Education Classroom Evaluation," by Jane Stallings and others. Part 4 covers "Class Size Project 1980-1981: Final Report," by Andrew T. Carrington and others. Part 5 is a review of "Crowding and Classroom Learning" by David E. Weldon and others, from "Journal of Experimental Education," (Spring 1981). (TE)
