Trump system, also known as flexible curriculum, was put forward by Lloyd Trump, a professor of education. This is a form of teaching organization that was tried out in some American schools in the second half of the 20th century. Proposed by Lloyd Trump, a professor of education. Its basic practice is to combine three teaching organizational forms: large class, small class discussion and personal homework.
First, large classes, two or more parallel classes to teach together, the application of modern teaching methods, the best teachers to teach; Then discuss and study in small classes, each class has about 20 people, and teachers or excellent students are responsible for studying and discussing materials in large classes; Finally, there are individual assignments, some of which are assigned by teachers and some of which are selected by students themselves, so as to promote students' personality development.
Time allocation of Trump's teaching organization form
These three forms of time allocation are roughly different: large class accounts for 40%, small class accounts for 20%, and personal homework accounts for 40%. It is not difficult to see that this kind of teaching organization form is a comprehensive teaching organization form, which tries to combine the advantages of class teaching, group teaching and individual teaching, and can not only attend classes collectively, but also conduct some research and discussion, and also learn independently. This form of teaching organization is still in use at present.
