Effects of small-sized classes on students

PROTOCOL: The effects of small class sizes on students’ academic achievement, socioemotional development, and well‐being in special education by Bondebjerg, Anja, et al noted that a small-sized class may affect social interaction.

It said:

"Small class sizes may lead to decreased variation in academic and social skills within the class, limiting the potential for positive peer effects on student academic learning and socioemotional development (e.g., learning from peers with more advanced academic skills)."

However, the study also noted that small-sized classes could be better in a special education instance.

"Small class sizes may be better suited to address the potential physical and psychological challenges of students with special educational needs, for example, by providing closer adult/child interaction, better accommodation of individual needs, and a more focused social interaction with fewer peers.
