Pre-service teachers' reflections of the summarise phase of a lesson study

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference Paper › Research › peer-review

Abstract

There is growing consensus that we need to improve the quality of pre-service teacher education. This paper reports on pre-service teachers’ observations and reflections of the ‘summarise phase’ of a lesson study in which Year 5 and 6 students engaged with a challenging mathematical task. The findings suggest that the lesson study assisted pre-service teachers to challenge their preconceived notions of the teachers’ role within a lesson to support learners, and to identify critical aspects within the ‘summarise phase’ of a lesson that demonstrated effective pedagogy. Such an experience may equip them to better understand student learning and current pedagogical practices for teaching primary mathematics.
