Abstract
The effects of organizational size are often the subject of much conjecture. This present paper sought to discover relationships between school size and reports teachers gave of their own teaching styles. While some significant differences were revealed, the amount of variation, explainable by size, was found to be slight. At the time of writing, all three authors were associated with the Centre for Research in Social Behaviour at the University of Missouri at Columbia, Professor Adams as an Educational Sociologist and Professor Marlin as a inferential statistician. Dr. Kimble has, more recently, been administering the University's Teacher Corps Project, in St. Louis.Keywords
