Abstract
The relationship of class size and achievement in the subject history was investigated on the basis of two representative samples of German 9th graders (study 1: k = 98 classes, study 2: k = 94 classes). In stu dy 1 no mean difference in achievement between pupils attending larger and smaller classes could be observed. In study 2 pupils stemming fro m larger classes achieved slightly better than those stemming from sma ller classes.
