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, countries such as Finland, which are famous for their high-quality education, also implement small class teaching. Finnish schools pay attention to the individualized growth of each student, and the class size is not large, so teachers have more time and energy to tap the potential of students. Teachers can tailor their study plans for students according to their hobbies and specialties. In this educational environment, Finnish students have performed well in programme for international student assessment and other tests, and their innovative ability and comprehensive quality have been widely recognized by the international community.1. European and American cases
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.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.
It is also more beneficial to the cultivation of students' artistic and sports specialties. Teachers can discover the potential of each student in painting, music and sports, and provide them with more opportunities for guidance and participation in related activities. For example, in music class, teachers can give each student more time to practice solo and improve their singing skills.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.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.
