Title

EFFECTS OF LARGE CLASS SIZE ON CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT PRACTICES: A CASE STUDY IN GHANAIAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS

Abstract

The study sought to find out views of Ghanaian senior high schools (SHS) science teachers and SHS science students on the effects of large class size on the classroom management practices in schools. A descriptive survey was the research design used for this study. A total of 50 respondents made up of 30 SHS science teachers and 20 SHS elective science students were used for the study. Questionnaire and interview were the two (2) instruments used for the study. The findings showed that majority of students (18 out of 20) representing 90% agreed that their science classes were huge and overcrowded making effective classroom management practices very difficult. Almost all the science teachers (29 out of 30) representing 96.7% vehemently agreed that large class sizes have direct effect on the effective classroom management practices and that it was easy to manage and instil disciplinary actions in smaller size class than in larger size classes. However, 2 science teachers representing 6.6% strongly believed that large class sizes have no direct effects on effective classroom management practices, and that with better managerial knowledge and skills, a teacher can implement an effective classroom management practices. It was recommended that the study should be replicated in other parts of the country Ghana or elsewhere using a much larger sample.
