- Description
- A lesson study approach was identified for a study in Australian schools involving cohorts of early career teachers and their mentors over a four year period. The study reported in this paper documented teachersř experiences of the lesson study cycle to: identify a challenge in their teaching; consult research and their own personal experience to hypothesise a solution; collaboratively develop a lesson; observe the lesson being taught to monitor student learning and debrief. Findings from the study indicated that lesson study provided teachers with opportunities to develop a range of teaching strategies that reflected improved understanding of the nature of a quality learning environment and a greater willingness to trial innovative teaching approaches particularly to integrate ICT. This paper will share teachers' experiences using video footage and discuss the challenges and benefits teachers derived from their participation in such a study.
