Should multiage classes have fewer students than single grade classes?
Learner-centered instruction, as in multiage classes, requires a higher demand of teacher time than in classes where direct, whole-class instruction is prevalent. So when comparing to a traditional style of single grade class, where the teacher is curriculum-centered, the answer to this question is ‘yes’. However, comparing the multiage class to a single grade class, where the instruction is more learner-centered, than the answer to this question would be ‘no’. It makes sense that the higher the number of students there are in a class, the more difficult it is to offer personalized guidance.
