One of the biggest challenges to control the class size to 15 students is the allocation of educational resources. We need more hardware resources such as classrooms and teaching equipment, and we also need to increase the number of teachers. In this regard, the government can increase investment in education. For example, some governments in Europe and America support school infrastructure construction and teacher recruitment through special education funds. For example, some state governments in the United States will provide funds for building new classrooms or transforming existing classrooms to meet the needs of small class teaching according to the school's small class plan.Third, the implementation challenges and coping strategiesDrawing 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.1. Improve the teaching effect.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.
Schools can also relieve pressure by integrating resources. For example, make rational use of idle space on campus and transform it into classrooms, and share some educational resources through cooperation with the community. At the same time, improve the utilization rate of educational resources, such as using digital teaching equipment to reduce dependence on traditional teaching resources.This class size is also convenient to carry out inquiry learning. Every student has more opportunities to participate in discussions and experiments, and it is no longer a few students who dominate classroom interaction. In science class, 15 students can be divided into several groups to carry out experimental exploration, and each student can operate the instrument, observe the experimental phenomena and put forward his own opinions. This is helpful to improve students' scientific inquiry ability and innovative thinking ability.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.
