Title: | Multiage Classes: what research tells us about their suitability for rural schools | Contributor(s): | Lloyd, Linley (author) | Publication Date: | 2002 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/3893 | Abstract: | Rural schools often have mixed-age (multigrade) classes because of small enrolments. There is a body of research which supports classes which are mixed-age by choice - multiage classes. To what extent can the successful practices of multiage teachers be adopted by multigrade teachers in rural schools? This article presents a summary of the research findings related to both multiage and multigrade classes, and explores the factors which are relevant in explaining the success of multiage classes. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Education in Rural Australia, 12(2), p. 1-14 | Publisher: | Society for the Provision of Education in Rural Australia (SPERA) | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1036-0026 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130399 Specialist Studies in Education not elsewhere classified | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 930101 Learner and Learning Achievement | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.spera.asn.au/articles.php?req=read&article_id=83#2002b http://eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/recordDetail?accno=EJ659855 |
