| Abstract | This study investigated the effectiveness of Project PRIME TIME on student learning in rural Indiana schools. Project PRIME TIME, a state-supported program to reduce class size in kindergarten through third-grade classes, was implemented in Indiana schools during the 1984-85 academic year. Subjects were first-graders enrolled in rural schools in western Indiana. Class sizes ranged from 15 to 22 students during the 1984-85 school year. Student scores on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, Stanford Achievement Test, Metropolitan Achievement Tests, Gates MacGinitie Reading Test, Art is Fundamental, and locally prepared basic skills tests were analyzed to determine whether differences existed between classes before and after the introduction of Project PRIME TIME. Results indicated that, of 73 statistical test scores analyzed, 39 showed significant positive effects of the project, while 30 showed no significant differences. Only four test scores showed significant positive differences in favor of larger classes. It is concluded that state sponsored programs to reduce class size can benefit student achievement and teacher efficiency in the primary grades. (CB) |
