DO SMALLER CLASSES REALLY HELP?
In an experiment in Canada, ten-year-old children were put in classes of four sizes: 16, 23, 30 and 37 children in (31)____ class. Their teachers said that the smaller classes would result in more individual attention and better marks. However, when the children were (32)____, those in the smaller classes didn’t get higher marks than the others, except in mathematics. Moreover, children in the larger classes said they liked school (33)____ as much. Perhaps the most surprising result was the difference between what teachers expected and the actual results obtained. More than 90% of the teachers expected the smaller classes to (34)____ well. After teaching these smaller classes, over 80% of the teachers thought the pupils had done better. However, according to the researchers, nothing of the (35)____ happened. Class size seemed to make a difference only to the teachers’ own attitudes - and not to the results they obtained.

DỊCH BÀI
Những lớp học nhỏ hơn có thực sự có ích?
Trong một thí nghiệm tại Canada, những đứa trẻ 10 tuổi được xếp vào bốn loại lớp: 16, 23, 30 và 37 học sinh mỗi lớp. Giáo viên của chúng nói rằng các lớp học ít hơn sẽ đến đến việc học sinh chú ý nghe hơn và điểm sẽ cao hơn. Tuy nhiên, khi bọn trẻ được làm bài kiểm tra, những đứa trẻ ở các lớp nhỏ lại có điểm số không cao hơn lớp còn lại, trừ môn toán. Thêm vào đó, học sinh ở những lớp lớn hơn nói rằng chúng rất thích đến trường.
Có lẽ kết quả đáng ngạc nhiên nhất là sự khác biệt giữa những gì mà giáo viên mong đợi và thực tế thu được. Hơn 90% giáo viên mong đợi những lớp ít hơn sẽ làm tốt hơn.
Sau khi dạy các lớp nhỏ hơn, hơn 80% nghĩ rằng học sinh đã làm tố hơn. Tuy nhiên, theo kết quả nghiên cứu, khong có gì giống như mong đợi cả. Quy mô lớn nhỏ của các lớp học dường như chỉ để tạo nên sự khác biệt trong cách nhìn nhận của giáo viên - chứ không phải là trong kết quả mà họ thu được.
