Step 3 - Lesson Practice (Microteaching, A few weeks)
What is it?
After development of the lesson plan, it is recommended that the teacher practices developing a specific teaching method and to verify that it can work well before the actual lesson delivery. Microteaching is often used for these purposes at this stage. The teacher teaches the planned lesson to other group members who act as learners. It can be a whole lesson or the group can only examine a certain component of the lesson plan (i.e. for a period of five to ten minutes). Microteaching can even be done with a small group of actual learners, if conditions permit, to get real reactions from them. In this case, other members of the Lesson Study group observe the microteaching.
After the microteaching, the group discusses what went as expected and what did not, and make modifications on the lesson plan. If group members can take photos or video recording during the micro teaching, these can be useful content for discussion. This process continues until the group confirms/observes achievement of the learning objective in microteaching.Last modified: Tuesday, 20 August 2024, 12:25 PM
