Peer Relationships and Play Behaviors of Children in Three Different Sized Classes Over a Four Month Period.

Kim, Yanghee A.

Early Child Development and Care, v167 p89-102 Apr 2001

This study examined effects of class size (ranging from 20 to 40) on preschoolers' social interaction with peers and teachers in Korea. Findings showed that teachers' behaviors did not differ significantly when their education and training backgrounds were similar. Class size did influence children's peer networks and their play behavior. (Author/KB)
