Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the development of observational skills in an undergraduate student’s lessons.
In this study, we developed a training method for observing lessons and studying lessons to improve observation skills in lessons. The following method was used: In the lesson, both the undergraduate student and an expert teacher recorded the lesson by using their iPad. In the lesson study, ① the undergraduate student explained his observations on the basis of the video he took with his iPad; ② the expert teacher explained his observations on the basis of the video he took with his iPad; and finally, ③ they reflected on the lesson study together. We repeated this procedure four times. We analyzed the lesson study by looking at the following three factors: a) the number of sentences produced by the undergraduate student and the teacher and the contents of their sentences; b) mutual understanding between the two individuals through their interaction; and c) the interview of the undergraduate student.
As a result, the undergraduate student was able to enhance his lesson observational skills by continuously having these lesson studies.
