The Investigation Analysis on College Class Size
The statistical analysis of the class size in seven universities of some province shows that the class size of the province's higher education institutions is large,with an average of 65.91 in one class.The class size in different types of higher education institutions is different,and the institutions can be listed in a descending order from newly-built colleges,ordinary universities,and key universities to junior colleges.Moreover,there exist significant differences in class size between different institutions and different courses.The current situation is that the large class size influences the teaching effectiveness and teaching quality.In order to change the status quo,the educational administrative department should strengthen intervention in institution's class size.Higher education institutions should work hard to reduce the class size.More importantly,as the class size can not be controlled under realistic conditions in the short term,the educational administrative department,and higher education institutions especially university faculties should explore countermeasures to guarantee and improve the quality of classroom teaching.
