Lesson Study Practical Guide - PRISM...

What is it?

It is time to deliver the lesson to an actual class. The teacher delivers, while other observe. This is called "research lesson" because teachers analyze the effectiveness of at teaching method from lesson observation.

To make the most of the research lesson, learners should be made aware of the purpose of the research lesson and roles of observers. When there are observers who did not participate in the steps of Lesson Study, pre-lesson briefing may be useful. Providing photocopies of the lesson plan for observers would help them understand quickly. The pre-lesson briefing can include:

• The schedule and flow for the day
• Information about the class (learners' performance level, what they should already know with regards to the topic, and any prior activities on the topic, etc.)
• Sharing the lesson plan
