| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study, intended for 5th graders of 64 elementary schools in 3 areas throughout Japan, captured the degree of impact that school size had on academic achievement, and the pro-school attitude of children. The number of valid responses is 5656. Regarding the effect of school size on the academic achievement and the pro-school attitudes, the interaction of the socio-economic prosperity with the school district was observed. School size is not significant to the academic achievement, however, even if the school district is socio-economically prosperous, in schools with enrolment over 1000 students, school size has negative impact. In addition, school size could have a negative effect on pro-school attitudes. On the other hand, this study shows that even in schools that have enrolment over 700 students, a pro-school attitudes is sufficiently high where socio-economic prosperity is maintained.
