It is conducive to better communication between teachers and students, personalized teaching and improving students' learning efficiency ... Small class teaching has many advantages, but it is also difficult to popularize. Yesterday, the reporter learned from the on-site observation meeting of promoting the high-quality development of modern education in small classes in the city. Next year, more than 90% of primary and secondary schools in the city will implement small classes with no more than 40 students in each class.

40% of the primary and secondary schools in Shinan are small classes.

For Shinan District with high population density, small class education is always a difficult problem. Before 2008, more than 50% of the classes in Shinan District had more than 50 students, and the large class size became a big problem that plagued school management and teachers' teaching at that time. Since 2009, Shinan District has effectively controlled the class size of regional primary and secondary schools through a series of measures to integrate high-quality educational resources and promote educational balance, and innovated the five-synchronization model, namely, creating small-class educational space, integrating educational content, interactive educational process, humanizing school management and professionalizing education teachers. Primary and secondary schools in Shinan District participated in three pilot projects of "educational management, teaching methods and curriculum experiments" according to the regional reality.

In order to create the conditions for the implementation of small-class education, Shinan District invested 800 million yuan to implement the education infrastructure upgrading project of "grasping things, strengthening the middle and optimizing the whole" and expanding the degree. According to the latest statistics, among 705 classes in 28 primary schools in Shinan District, 32 1 class has classes with less than 40 students, accounting for 46% of the total number of primary schools in the whole district. 10 junior high school has 265 classes, of which 10 1 has less than 40 students, accounting for 38% of the total number of middle schools in the whole region.

Shinan District is building a school district management system, that is, the primary and secondary schools in the whole district are divided into six university districts. The primary and secondary schools in the school district are studying education management, promoting the construction of small-class management mechanism, implementing the three-step cycle mechanism of "consultation-perfection-demonstration" in the school district, and promoting the research of five small-class education management projects, such as the construction of modern school system and the construction of smart classrooms, to improve the quality of education.

Small class teaching has many advantages.

There are 50 students in a class and 40 students in a class. Which class has high teaching efficiency? The answer to this question is undoubtedly a class of 40 people. For teachers, the smaller the class size, the higher the efficiency. It is for this reason that the Municipal Education Bureau promotes small-class teaching in the whole city, and small-class teaching is also an important symbol of educational modernization.

Qingdao 19 Middle School is the first subordinate high school to implement small class teaching. After years of practice, Cheng Hongsheng, vice principal of Qingdao 19 Middle School, told reporters that teaching in small classes has many advantages. First, small class teaching is conducive to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. After the implementation of small class teaching, teachers can have more energy to understand each child, take care of each child and pay attention to the growth and development of each child. The small number of students is more conducive to teachers' individual counseling for children. Teachers can completely criticize each child's homework, sort out the child's knowledge system while correcting mistakes, and carry out ideological education for children in time. By teaching in small classes, teachers can get to know students better and faster.

. Because of the small number of students, teachers can better consider students when preparing lessons, who need more guidance and who need to put forward higher requirements, and can design homework in layers.

At the same time, small class teaching helps students concentrate and improve class efficiency. Xu, the principal of Jiayuguan Primary School, said that the self-control of junior students is very poor. If they don't concentrate in class, and sometimes the teacher doesn't hear the key points, then that piece of knowledge must be a memory blank. In the long run, it will have a great impact on students. At this time, the advantages of small classes are reflected. In small classes, there are fewer students, classroom discipline is easier to control, the chances of students' inattention are greatly reduced, and the efficiency of students' attending classes is improved.

The standard of public funds for each student has been raised.

According to the goal set by the Municipal Education Bureau, by 20 16, more than 90% of primary and secondary schools will have classes with no more than 40 students in the initial grade. The popularization rate of small class education and the quality of education and teaching have reached the advanced level of similar cities in China. In order to ensure the development of small-class education, the city has established a long-term mechanism to ensure and increase public funds per student to adapt to small-class education, and made it clear that public compulsory education schools and ordinary high schools implement small-class education, and the standard of public funds per student has been raised to 1.5 times that of non-small-class education. Since the spring of 20 16, the financial department has given a one-time subsidy of 30,000 yuan to the newly approved pilot schools with small classes. In 20 16, Shinan District allocated special funds to promote small class education in all primary and secondary schools in the region according to the 200 yuan standard for students per capita.

Building new schools and recruiting teachers to promote small class teaching

At yesterday's meeting, the education (sports) directors of all districts and cities said that there are two main factors that hinder the promotion of small classes in primary and secondary schools. First, the number of schools is difficult to meet the growing enrollment. Take Licang District as an example. Although the construction of new schools and the expansion of old schools have been intensified in recent years, only six schools were put into use last year, but the influx of children of new citizens has doubled the enrollment pressure in this area. Han Chuande, director of the Education and Sports Bureau of Licang District, said that the number of children of new citizens in the first grade of the school has exceeded that of children with local household registration, and it is the first time that they are upside down. Another factor is that the implementation of small classes requires more teachers, and the current teacher-student ratio of 1: 19 is difficult to meet the needs of small classes. This year, the municipal government decided to recruit 3,400 supernumerary teachers, and many districts and cities indicated that they would increase the recruitment of teachers this year. "A few years ago, how many teachers we retired and how many teachers we recruited. This year, we retired 120 teachers and recruited 180 teachers, leaving enough talent introduction plans. " Chai Qinglin, director of the Shibei Education Bureau, said. (Reporter Yan)
