小规模班级教育的促进性因素与推进策略

Contributing Factors and Promoting Strategies in the Small-sized Class Education

班级规模对学生的发展具有重要影响。近年来,小规模班级使得教师对个体的关注成为可能,给学生提供了更多的参与机会,为教师开放课堂提供了条件,对学生长远发展具有积极的影响,因此,小规模班级成为许多国家的教育政策选择。为充分发挥小规模班级教育的潜力,需要以下四个层面的共同努力:学区应提供支持性条件和政策引导;学校应加强改革执行力和改革认同;教师应掌握专门性知识和精致实践;家庭要了解各阶段进展并配合改进。

The class size has an important influence on students＇ development. In recent years the small-sized classes have made it possible for the teachers to pay close attention to individual students and offer students more opportunities to participate and provide teachers the conditions to open the classes, which have positive influence on students＇ long-term development. Therefore, the small-sized class has become one of the educational policy options in many countries. To tap fully the potentials of small-sized classes, joint efforts from the following four sides are needed. The districts where the schools are located should provide supportive conditions and policy guidance; the schools should strengthen the force of reform and reform identification; the teachers should master the specialized knowledge and the refined practice; the families should keep track of the developments in the different stages and cooperate to make improvements.
