Multi-age or composite classes: 2008 to 2014

Transcription

1 Multi-age or composite classes: 2008 to 2014 Research shows it makes no difference to performance whether students are in a straight year group or in a multi-age class it s the teacher who makes the difference. Multi-age classes are made up of students drawn from different year levels. They may be established because of the uneven pattern of enrolment in the school, because of the small size of the school or where it s considered that mixing students of different ages is academically and socially advantageous. These multi-age classes are often designed to match the organisation of the syllabus, which is based on stages running over two years. Research about multi-stage classes Research findings on the effects of multi-age classes and best teaching practices are available at: dia/downloads/schoolsweb/student support/programs/classsize/multia ge/multi_age.pdf Two findings stand out in the research: it makes no difference to performance whether students are in a straight year group or in a multi-age class. The most important factors in determining how well a student does are the quality of the teacher and his or her teaching multi-age classes may benefit students both socially and emotionally. The number of multi-age classes and children in these classes in each NSW public primary and infants school can be seen in the data below. It doesn t include students in support classes or schools without multi-age classes. NSW students are performing at a high level NSW consistently performs above average in NAPLAN testing. In 2014: the proportion of NSW students performing at or above the national minimum standard for Reading and Numeracy was above the national average in all four testing years. NSW is mostly ranked in the top three jurisdictions, along with ACT and Victoria, on the proportion of students at or above minimum standard and the proportion of students achieving results in the highest band for NAPLAN performance.
