Classroom teaching system

Comenius requires that classes should be divided according to children's age and knowledge level, and the teaching content should be gradual in stages, and one teacher should teach students of one grade at the same time.

Academic year system

Planned work

He emphasized the planning of school work and believed that school work must be carried out in an orderly manner on a yearly, monthly and daily basis.

Group work

He even suggested that the students in a grade should be divided into several groups of every ten people, and the outstanding students should be selected as "ten-person-long" to help the teacher manage the group.

reform in education

Comenius' theory of class teaching system became a popular teaching system in the second half of the19th century.
