Instead, a group whose collaborative efforts bring out results faster will be promoted.学生们将组成更小规模的小组通过集体合作解决问题，这样学生的沟通能力就会随之提升。他们不再按排坐在座位上，也不会通过逐个回答问题被评估。相反地，通过合作更快找到

12、f mere fact-based learning that promotes memory expansion rather than mental development?教育体制改革必须做到彻底，因为以前传统的教育方式是建立在使用那种可用性和可及行都很低相对原始的工具的基础上。现代世界却是充满联系的，这样的情况不正说明如今是让学生们迈出只是学习事实提高记忆力而不是智力开发的时代了吗？· eon 'i:n n. 永世；无数的年代；极长时期· overhaul ,uv'h:l, 'uvh:l vt. 分解检查，大修；追上并超过n. 彻底检修，详细检查· radical&#
