In Europe and America, many schools attach importance to teaching in small classes, and it is more common to control the class size to about 15 students. In the United States, for example, some high-quality primary and secondary schools and private universities often adopt small class teaching mode. According to the data of American educational research institutions, in the small class teaching environment (15-20 students in each class), students' academic performance has been significantly improved in reading, mathematics and other disciplines. For example, in reading, the average improvement rate of reading ability of small class students is about 20% higher than that of large class students. This is because teachers can adjust teaching strategies more accurately according to each student's reading level in small classes.In terms of educational concept, teachers also need to adapt to this change from large class teaching to small class teaching. Teacher training is particularly important. Schools can organize teachers to participate in training courses in small class teaching and learn the methods and skills of small class teaching, such as how to carry out personalized teaching and how to organize efficient group activities, so as to improve teachers' teaching ability to adapt to the new teaching mode.Summary: Learning from the successful experience of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea and controlling the class size of primary and secondary schools and college students to 15 students has many positive strategic significance for improving the quality of teaching and training, and cultivating more all-round high-quality talents.
1. European and American casesDrawing lessons from Europe, America, Japan and South Korea: Controlling the class size of primary and secondary schools and universities to 15 students to improve the quality of teaching and training.In a class of 15 students, the focus of education is not only the academic achievements of students, but also the development of students' moral cultivation and artistic accomplishment. Teachers can pay more attention to students' moral education and guide students to establish correct values. For example, by organizing class discussions on social equity, environmental protection and other topics, teachers can deeply understand each student's point of view and give targeted guidance.
2. Japan and South Korea casesJapan and South Korea also have experience in class size control. Japanese school education emphasizes refined training, and the class size is generally small. In a class of 15 students, teachers can pay close attention to students' psychological state and learning progress. Japanese educational circles believe that a small class size helps to create a good teacher-student relationship, which has a positive impact on students' physical and mental health and learning motivation. According to the survey, in small class teaching in Japan, students' participation in class has increased by nearly 30% compared with that in large class.In the process of educational reform, Korean schools are gradually developing into small classes. South Korea's education pays attention to cultivating students' comprehensive quality. In a class of 15 students, teachers can better organize diversified teaching activities. For example, group project-based learning is carried out, so that each student can give full play to his own advantages in the project and cultivate teamwork spirit and the ability to solve practical problems. At the same time, the Korean education department found that small-class teaching helps to reduce the academic pressure gap between students and promote educational equity.
