One morning Fan Xing discovered that her classroom had changed. The 13-year-old girl saw that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make six bigger desks.
The change of the desks was part of a reform(改革) at Fan’s school. About five weeks ago, more than 2,000 junior students at the school began studying in this way, with six to eight students sitting in groups.“This reform is designed to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances for discussion,” said Liu Xu, a school head teacher. “Our school hopes it can improve students’ abilities for self-study as well as teamwork.”
The new arrangement took some time for students to get used to. “I was too curious(好奇) about it for the first two days,” said Fan. But soon she and her classmates got used to it. “Now our class is quieter because we can stop loud students with some simple gestures(手势),” said Fan. “What’s more, we can speak out our own ideas and learn others’ through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”
Many students liked the change. They said, “Group members first discuss, and then explain the ways or answers to difficult questions in front of the whole class.”
The reform has asked for more from teachers. They have no more than 15 minutes to teach in class. “In the past, a lesson can be taught in 45 minutes. But now we need to teach the lessons in a short time ,” English teacher Wang Jing said. “We have to improve methods to teach better. We must prepare some interesting topics and exercises before class so that students can discuss them.” “The reform has a long way to go, but I believe it will succeed(成功),” Wang added.
