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.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.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.
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.When the class size is controlled at 15 students, teachers can know more about each student's learning situation. Teachers can provide targeted counseling for each student's weak points of knowledge. For example, in mathematics teaching, teachers may only explain the knowledge points in a large class, but in a class of 15 students, teachers can find each student's problems in algebra, geometry and other different sectors, so as to explain the problem-solving ideas in a personalized way.2. The change of social concept and educational concept
Japan 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.2. Cultivate all-round talentsI.
