- Title
Class sizes and teacher workload: teachers' views.
- Authors
Atkins, John
- Abstract
Whilst much research has drawn on teachers' perceptions of how variations in class size affect their pupils' attainment and achievement, there has been less investigation of how teachers' own workloads vary with the sizes of the classes they teach. This article examines the complex relationship between the amount of time teachers spend on planning, preparation and assessment and the sizes of the classes they teach. It concludes that smaller class sizes bring more direct benefits to pupils rather than to teachers.
