Discipline name: Lesson Study - English version
Course description:
The Course called Lesson Study - English version aims to propagate to Education professionals (teachers, managers, pedagogues, psychologists, educational advisors, undergraduate students etc.) how the Japanese practice teacher education in basic education aiming at the potential of their students' learning . The Lesson Study is supported, mainly, in the planning-execution-reflection triad of classes constructed collaboratively. The Lesson Study option as the guiding thread for teaching actions and their impact on student learning is not incidental, but based on the expressive results of large-scale tests, such as TIMSS and PISA, presented by Japan, as a reflection of practices that have been shown to be potential for learning school content, demonstrated in the scientific and academic environment. The Lesson Study goes beyond a simple bureaucratic model of lesson planning by bringing together valuable ingredients, such as studying didactic material, integrating and collaborating among students, valuing error as an opportunity for learning, studying doubt predictions, evaluating during the process and study of the curriculum. The planning is collaborative and meticulous, with the establishment of objectives and goals, which place the student as the protagonist of the construction of their own knowledge, with a detailed description of both the content and the teaching method. This course can act as a starting point for the teaching actions of the participants, allowing each one to print their personal mark, since each class has its way of being and feeling the world, its context and its history.
