Instance 1 : A teacher is giving a lecture in a class of 10 students.
Instance 2 : A teacher is giving a lecture in a class of 100 students.

Assuming all the intervening variables to be the same in both the instances, which of the following is the most likely possibility from the perspective of communication ?

  • A.Interactivity of students with teacher will be higher in Instance 2 than Instance 1
  • B.Interactivity of students with teacher will be higher in Instance 1 than Instance 2.
  • C.Interactivity of students with teacher will be the same in both the instances
  • D.Interactivity of students with teacher remains unaffected

Answer: B

Interactivity of students with teacher will be higher in Instance 1 than Instance 2.

With everything else equal, a class of 10 gives each student far more opportunity to ask questions, respond and receive individual attention than a class of 100. Communication in the small class can be two-way; in the large class it tends to become one-way, from the teacher to a mass audience.

So interactivity is not higher in the larger class, not the same in both, and not unaffected by class size.
