Effective Learning

Lesson study has been conducted as a strategy to improve the processes and outcomes of learning, this activity implemented in a collaborative and sustained by a group of lecturer (lecturer models and observers). The main objectives of lesson study activities namely to gain a better understanding of how students learn and lecturers teach, designing the  learning that is easily understood by students in each of the learning process and build a pedagogical knowledge, where a lecturer able to gain knowledge from other lecturer. This activity is conducted for four stages during one semester and conducted in stages. Each stage consists of planning (plan), observation (do) and reflection (see). Lesson this lesson study is expected to provide lessons and learning experinces of students in general and, in particular, the lecturer models and able to build cooperative contextual learning. From a series of stages that have been done can be concluded that the need for cooperation in designing an effective learning, maximum and sustainable.Telah dilakukan kegiatan lesson study yang merupakan strategi untuk meningkatkan proses dan hasil pembelajaran yang dilaksanakan secara kolaboratif dan berkelanjutan oleh sekelompok dosen (dosen model dan dosen observer). Tujuan utama kegiatan lesson study yaitu memperoleh pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang bagaimana mahasiswa belajar dan dosen mengajar, merancang pembelajaran yang mudah dipahami oleh mahasiswa dalam setiap proses pembelajaran serta membangun sebuah pengetahuan pedagogis, dimana seorang dosen mampu menimba pengetahuan dari dosen lain. Kegiatan dilakukan selama empat siklus selama satu semester yang dilakukan secara bertahap. Setiap tahapan terdiri dari perencanaan (plan), observasi (do) dan refleksi (see). Pembelajaran ini diharapakan mampu membelajarkan mahasiswa pada umumnya dan dosen model pada khususnya dan mampu membangun pembelajaran kontekstual yang kooperatif. Dari serangkaian siklus yang dilakukan dapat simpulkan bahwa perlu kerjasama dalam merancang sebuah pembelajaran yang efektif, maksimal dan berkelanjutan.

 Siden 2013 har læreruddannelsen fået pligt til at bedrive forskning og udvikling (FoU) som en del af kerneopgaven. Denne opgave er blevet implementeret på meget forskellige måder på landets læreruddannelser. I denne artikel argumenterer jeg for, at FoU skal balancere et ideal om transformation af praksis gennem udfordringsbasering og løsningsorientering, samtidig med at der skal ydes et substantielt bidrag til forskningsfeltet. FoU skal ligeledes balancere et ideal om praksisnærhed og medinddragelse samtidig med et ønske om generaliserbarhed og skalering. Artiklen afsluttes med en introduktion til interventionsforskningen som et konstruktivt bud på en ramme og struktur, der kan rumme ovenstående fordringer.  To be able to differentiate between approaches to teachers’ professional development, Cochran-Smith and Lytle have developed three conceptions of the relationships between teachers’ knowledge and their practice. One of these, Knowledge-of-practice, is the basis for this article, as we use Lesson studies to exemplify the potentials of approaches within this conceptualization. In Japan, Lesson studies are used in all subjects, whereas in the West the approach predominantly is used in Mathematics and with a focus on pedagogical content knowledge. Based on a lesson study case in the subject of Danish, we argue that approaches as lesson study provide teachers the possibility to research and solve teaching problems with a focus simultaneously on pedagogical knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge.

ResumeFor at kunne skelne mellem tiltag til lærerudvikling har Cochran-Smith og Lytle udviklet tre grundforståelser af forholdet mellem læreres viden og deres praksis. En af disse, Knowledge-of-practice, er udgangspunkt for artiklen, idet vi med Lektionsstudier eksemplificerer potentialerne ved at benytte tiltag inden for denne grundforståelse. I Japan benyttes lektionsstudier i alle fag, mens tiltaget i Vesten overvejende bruges i matematikfaget og med et fagdidaktisk fokus. Ud fra en case om lektionsstudier i danskfaget argumenterer vi for, at tiltag som lektionsstudier giver lærere mulighed for at udforske og løse problemstillinger i deres undervisningspraksis fra et samtidigt alment og fagdidaktisk perspektiv. AbstractTo be able to differentiate between approaches to teachers’ professional development, Cochran-Smith and Lytle have developed three conceptions of the relationships between teachers’ knowledge and their practice.

New Perspective

This study aims to know Indonesian teachers’ perception of the implementation of lesson study. A case study was used as the design of this study with six teachers of Islamic Elementary School in Semarang, Indonesia, were chosen by using purposive sampling. A questionnaire with the Likert Scale of 1 to 4 was distributed to the respondents after implementing lesson study. A deep interview was also given to the teachers to explore their awareness of pedagogical knowledge. The quantitative data were analyzed statistically and they were used to support the qualitative data got from the interview. The result showed that the teachers had a new perspective in the pedagogical context in which a preparation of teaching could be prepared well by formulating and designing the lesson collaboratively with the other teachers to achieve the learning goal. Through the intensive collaboration with the teachers, they were more aware to create the effective and meaningful teaching to the students. They knew how to teach the students through the instructional strategies designed.

Informal Inference

There is growing recognition of the importance of developing young students’ informal inferential reasoning (IIR). This focus on informal inference in school statistics has implications for teacher education. This study reports on 26 preservice teachers utilizing Lesson Study to support a focus on the teaching of IIR in primary classrooms. Participants demonstrated proficiency reasoning about the elements fundamental to informal inferential reasoning but had difficulties developing pedagogical contexts to advance primary students’ informal inferential reasoning. Specifically, issues emerged relating to data type, an excessive focus on procedures, locating opportunities for IIR, and a lack of justification and evidence-based reading. Focusing on the lesson as the unit of analysis combined with classroom-based inquiry supported the development of statistical and pedagogical knowledge.

The Relationship

To assess the progressive teaching practicums included in an English Teaching Programme at a Chilean university, 60 former student-teachers answered a questionnaire with both Likert-scale and open-ended questions. The issues assessed included the relationship between the progressive teaching practicums and the curriculum’s modules and sequence, and the skills developed while implementing innovation projects during the student-teachers’ two final practicums. Quantitative and qualitative data analyses allowed us to identify both strengths and weaknesses. The participants highlighted strengths in the areas of teaching strategies, critical thinking skills and professional and pedagogical knowledge. Among the weaknesses, they identified limited supervision and feedback, and diverging views on teaching education between the university and the schools as the most difficult to deal with. These findings may be useful for introducing improvements in Initial Teacher Education aimed at reducing problems and discrepancies and devising suitable induction processes.
