各教科の授業のときに、同じ教師が同じ教材研究をしても、学級がちがうと授業がすっかり変わるといわれることがある。
I'm not sure if 教材研究をする here means what the teacher researches in order to teach the lesson, or what the teacher actually presents in the lesson for the students to study.
And overall, is this saying that sometimes the same lesson may go completely differently in different classes (despite the teacher's attempts to present an identical lesson) or that the teacher may completely alter the lesson according to the class?

What the teacher researches in order to teach...
I believe this term refers to what the teacher researches in order to teach the lesson (see link below).
Overall I think the sentence is saying that sometimes the lesson may vary depending on the class (despite the teacher preparing/researching the same for each class).

For each subject, the teacher may study on the same teaching material, but if the grade ....
...grade of the student/pupil changes, than also the lesson may differ completely.....(something like this)
I guess the point here lies on ”学級” which means "different grade of the student (pupil)/different year"
and teaching material.
for example in Japan the "Benesse material" were great study material for small children, but as the children grow older the interest in it loses and a totally different teaching strategie and material get necessary. The same is with the school material; I guess.

research on teaching materials
As a teacher myself, this seems a familiar phrase. Regarding the context, I understand it as follows.
各教科の授業のときに、同じ教師が同じ教材研究をしても、学級がちがうと授業がすっかり変わるといわれることがある。
It is often said, regarding lessons in each and every subject, that even if the teacher used the same teaching materials that s/he researched, the lesson content becomes totally different from the grade to grade.
In this context 学級 year grade, not just a classroom.

correction: 学級 still means classroom, as 学年 would be translated as grade year.

But what I was thinking was that it is often that we teachers choose the same topic across the grades. and each year should have different approach and content.
In here, each classroom has different students, so naturally the lesson content develops differently if the teacher is willing to let students explore on themselves and accept their responses.

To answer Stephen's question, it's "Sometimes".
It happens occasionally.

But again, from my experience, it often happens.
According to the Japanese text, it is definitely not "always".
ことがあるmeans it happens occasionally, but "how often" is an additional information. ～ということが しょっちゅう ある。IS "it happens often"

Note from asker:
| Thanks for your input. Does ことがある have the force of 'often' or could it be 'sometimes' here? |
