Introduction

Hyacinth's research on class size effects on student achievement in

Norway reveals a small negative effect, with larger benefits in schools
with a high proportion of intact families. Class size effects seem to be
Background conditional on student effort. In the Philippines, the impact of class size
on SHS STEM students at the Philippine National University of
of the study Pangasinan is debated, with some studies supporting the idea that class
size matters for student accomplishment, while others strongly contest
this idea, stating that class size has little to no effect on objective
student results.

Christoper Jepsen's research on class size in the Philippines found a

significant negative relationship between class size and academic
achievement, with smaller classes performing better. This highlights
the importance of class configurations in the Philippine public school
Review of system. Despite the popularity of class size reduction as an education
policy initiative, evidence suggests that it may not significantly
Related improve student success. Younger students benefit more from smaller
Literature courses than older pupils. The study also found no discernible impact
of class size on teacher evaluations, suggesting that teacher training is
crucial regardless of the number of students. Additionally, 251
correlations were found between physical activity and academic
performance, with 50.5% of the relationships being positive.

Theoretical and Conceptual Framework

This study is grounded on class size reduction theory

by Pritchard (1999), smaller classes resulted in a more
positive environment due to students developing
better relationships with each other.
