Homogenous and High Performing Classes: The Case of Optimal Classes.

Schwippert, Knut; Walker, Maurice

Studies in Educational Evaluation, v29 n2 p109-28 2003

Studied the existence of optimal classes (classes in which students reach maximal individual achievement with little difference in outcomes within the class) in two German samples from a reading literacy study, representing more than 270 classes of eighth graders. Findings show different proportions of optimal classes in the five basic German school types. (SLD)
