Self-Study of the Teacher Education Practice

The relationship between “the teacher in charge of teaching courses” and “the learners
who take those courses” is the same type of “teacher-child” relationship that exists in the class
room in school education. In Japan, however, there has not been much research on conceiving
and improving teaching courses with this in mind.
Therefore, in this study, I incorporated the following as a researcher and teacher educator
in a course on “Teaching to Teach.”
Not only the content of the class but also the “intention of the educational method” that I
am implementing in the class, my own “reflection during the class” and “reflection after the
class,” judgments and conflicts made after the class and before the next class are disclosed to
the learners as appropriate for their consideration.
Encourage learners to be metacognitive not only about the content of the lesson but also
about how they feel about the teacher’s behaviour, the events of the class, and the atmosphere
of the class.
I then examined the impact of such classes on the learners. In addition, I examined the
impact on myself.
The results revealed that learners learned about the effects of teacher praise and diverse
considerations based on what they thought about when they were being taught. It was also
clear that they were learning that the teacher was making decisions while being lost and con
flicted and that the teacher was growing through reflection.
It was also revealed that teacher educators could deepen their reflection and create an at
titude of seeking to create better lessons while being aware of their identities and beliefs. It
was also suggested that this could contribute to building a trusting relationship with learners.
