Action Research Proposal: Overcrowded Classrooms
1. Title
"Enhancing Learning Environments: Addressing Challenges of Overcrowded
Classrooms"
2. Introduction
Overcrowded classrooms have become a pressing issue in modern education systems
worldwide. This proposal aims to investigate the impact of class size on student
learning outcomes and teacher effectiveness. As class sizes continue to grow, it is
crucial to explore strategies that can optimise educational environments and improve
overall learning experiences.
, 3. Problem Statement
The problem of overcrowded classrooms significantly affects both students and
teachers. Research indicates that larger class sizes can lead to reduced individual
attention for students, increased teacher workload, and challenges in classroom
management (Smith, 2019; Brown & Jones, 2020). This study seeks to explore how
reducing class sizes or implementing alternative strategies can mitigate these issues
and enhance educational quality.
Research Question: How can reducing class sizes or implementing alternative
strategies help to improve educational outcomes in overcrowded classrooms?
4.. Literature Review
A comprehensive review of existing literature will be conducted to understand the
current state of knowledge regarding overcrowded classrooms. Key topics to be
explored include:
- The impact of class size on student achievement and engagement (Johnson & Smith,
2018).
- Effective classroom management strategies in overcrowded settings (Lee, 2021).
- Teacher perceptions and experiences in managing large class sizes (Martinez et al.,
2017).
- Comparative studies of different class size policies and their outcomes (Brown, 2016).
5. Research Approach
This study will utilise a mixed methods approach to gather comprehensive insights into
the issue of overcrowded classrooms. Quantitative data will be collected through
surveys distributed to teachers and students, focusing on academic performance
metrics, classroom behaviour, and teacher satisfaction. Qualitative data will be
gathered through semi-structured interviews with teachers and administrators to
explore their experiences and perspectives on class size impacts and management
strategies.
