Ethnography of Review Meetings in Home Economics Teaching practices : The Process of Developing Practical Teaching Abilities

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to research the process of developing practical teaching abilities using ethnography in review meetings in Home Economics teaching practice. The construction of lessons, circumstantial judgments, communication and control of high school students are discussed. Through the process of reflective awareness by students on their own teaching, through encouragement and presentation of alternative ideas by students when observing peers, and through advice and pointers towards later teaching from their supervisors, practical teaching abilities were fostered.
