Differences between school classes in preschoolers' psychosocial adjustment: Evidence for the important of chldren's interpersonal relations
Article Abstract:
There is increased interest in the study of school effectiveness, and research aims to determine factors at the school and class level, linked to differences between schools. The differences between school classes with regard to play, teacher-reported behaviour problems and children's feelings of well-being at school, were examined. 87% of the variance was at child level, with 11% at class level and 3% at school level, mainly linked to differences between classes rather than differences between schools.
