Abstract

The small-class seminar is a kind of teaching organization widely used in world-class universities and a key measure to improve the quality of talent cultivation. This paper mainly takes The “Yao Class” of Tsinghua University as the entry point, uses the way of table comparison and examples to study the advantages and disadvantages of the small class seminar for an undergraduate elite education and the reform plan. The advantage of small-class seminars is that teachers have more time to focus on each student, expand and deepen the content of the course, teach students according to their aptitude, enhance class cohesion, and increase communication opportunities among students and their interest in learning. The high student-to-teacher ratio, traditional teaching methods and lack of teaching investment are the restrictive factors of elite education in China. Reforming small-class education requires rational planning of classroom utilization rate, strengthening of classroom infrastructure construction and increasing investment. Meanwhile, teachers should take students as the center, innovate teaching methods and cultivate students’ critical thinking.
