split class or within-class grouping (depending)
Explanation:
If a school class is divided into sub-groups (sometimes from different grades) in order to accomodate timetabling issues, and one teacher takes the whole group for part of the time and another teacher takes the sub groups at other times, then a 'split' class is the result. On the other hand, if the sub-groups are based on student achievement or ability, this is referred to as "within-class grouping".

Explanation:
The word "articolata" here means segmented or divided. An articulated class in American English means that a course taught in one school will be accepted by another.

disagree  Janice Giffin: 'partitioned class' refers to software terminology or else, a 'partitioned classroom' is one with a physical division
