What is Lesson Study?
Lesson study is not about improving a single lesson. It is about building pathways ongoing improvement of instruction. There are three major steps in a lesson study programme. 1. Lesson Planning 2. Presentation and Observation of a lesson 3. A reflection on the lesson.
Step 1: Lesson Planning
•Decides on the lesson
objectives including what kind of
knowledge, skills, attitudes or values he/she wants the students to acquire
from the class.
•Develops a lesson plan to achieve his/her objectives in light of the
content of the entire unit being taught
.
•It is important here for the teacher to predict various student
responses. This is the key to making a lesson "flexible
Step 2: Presentation and Observation.
•Observers, on the other hand, watch the
classroom activities from the viewpoint of both the teacher conducting the
class and the students.
•Observers prepare for a lesson reflection to be conducted later by
paying attention to not only how the teacher is teaching the class but also how
the students are learning and where they make mistakes
Step 3: Reflection
•The teacher who presented the lesson
provides an overview of the lesson and then listens to comments from teachers
who observed the lesson.
•First, the teacher who presented the lesson
describes its objectives and then comments on the lesson. This is followed by a
question and answer session
•These discussions not only nurture the
professional development of the teacher presenting the lesson but allow all the
participants to develop "an eye for observing a lesson ”while paying
attention to how the students think and express their ideas and how the teacher
should best interact with them.
•What
they have learned through these steps will be applied to the next lesson study.
