1. Grouping according to age and knowledge level: students are grouped into fixed classes according to age stage and knowledge level, that is, students in the same teaching class have roughly the same age and knowledge level. Class is the basic unit of teaching, and the number of students in each class is relatively fixed, generally 30-50. This is very different from individual teaching. When teaching individually, it may also be aimed at a group of students, but it is not a fixed class, and the students are different in age and education.
2. Divide the teaching content into small teaching units according to disciplines and academic years-classes are the basic units of teachers' teaching. Firstly, the teaching content is divided according to disciplines and academic years, and the content to be mastered in each grade is determined. Then on this basis, according to the specific teaching content and the teaching means and methods to realize this teaching content, it is divided into smaller parts. The contents of each part are not heavy, they inherit from each other and have certain integrity. This small part of teaching content and activities is called "class", and teaching is usually carried out one class after another.
3. Teaching within the specified class hours: the total class hours, school year class hours and weekly class hours of each subject are generally determined according to the fixed curriculum plan. The schedule of each class specifies the daily schedule. The time of each class can be 50 minutes, 45 minutes and 30 minutes, but they are all uniform and fixed. There are certain intervals and breaks between classes.
4. The teaching place is relatively fixed: classroom teaching is conducted in classrooms and laboratories, and the place is fixed. Seats in the classroom are relatively fixed, but students' seating arrangements can take different forms, such as paddy fields, round tables, horseshoes and conference tables.
Advantages and disadvantages of class teaching system
Advantages of class teaching system
1. It is beneficial to cultivate talents in a large area, expand teaching scale and improve teaching efficiency.
In the teaching organization of class teaching system, one teacher can teach thirty or forty students at the same time, which greatly improves the teaching efficiency compared with teaching alone. In this way, the teaching scale can be greatly expanded without changing the number of teachers. This kind of teaching organization is of great significance when the country can't afford too much education funds and needs to build a large number of talents urgently.
2. It is beneficial to give full play to teachers' advantages and highlight their leading role: teachers and students are equal in personality, but compared with students, teachers have absolute advantages in knowledge, experience, experience and personal qualities and should play a leading role. If teachers want to give full play to their advantages in front of all students, they must have the opportunity to give full play to their leading role. Class teaching system is a kind of teaching organization form that can reflect this requirement. It enables teachers to effectively impart systematic knowledge to all students in the class, not one or several students.
3. It is conducive to giving full play to the educational role of class collectives and promoting students' all-round development: students study in groups with similar degree and the same learning content, which is convenient for students to discuss, compete and make progress together, and is conducive to students' socialization and all-round development.
4. Conducive to teaching management and teaching inspection: the formation and perfection of the teaching organization form of class teaching system makes teaching activities more regular, systematic and scientific. Students of the same age and similar knowledge level are put in the same class, and their psychological level, self-awareness level and cognitive level are similar, which is convenient for teaching management. Students in the same grade use the same teaching materials and attend classes at the same pace, so they have unified teaching requirements, basically the same evaluation standards for teaching quality, and roughly the same requirements for teachers, which is convenient for checking teachers' teaching activities and evaluating their teaching quality.
Disadvantages of class teaching system
1. Students' independence and autonomy are restricted: the class teaching system requires teachers to be responsible for the whole class and is a one-to-many communication form. Because teachers need to pay more attention to the overall situation of students, they need some unified control and arrangement, and sometimes even too much control. This kind of uniform activity ignores the independence and autonomy of students to some extent.
2. The teaching form is fixed and stylized: the class teaching system has formed a relatively fixed teaching mode, classroom practices, and even the way of thinking and communication between teachers and students. If teachers can't always break away from convention and keep the same way of thinking, classroom teaching will lose its appeal to students.
3. It can't meet the individual needs of students well: the class teaching system enables dozens of students with similar age but different interests, ambitions and personalities to accept unified teaching contents and methods and teach at a unified pace, which can't take care of students' different learning needs and emotional experiences.
