Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the role of teaching materials in lessons taught by student teachers and novice teachers.
The results are summarized as follows:
1) Teaching abilities were classified into four teaching skill groups, and their learning activities were classified into five groups. In activity lessons (for instance, cooking) , teaching and learning activities accounted for about the same amount of time. It seems that the teaching process in these lessons follows a set pattern.
2) The percentage of time that teachers talked during their lessons was about half of total teaching activity time.
3) Students copied from the blackboard onto their worksheets in classes by student teachers, but they were able to write their own ideas in classes by novice teachers, which showed that the role of teaching materials changed from that of supporting teachers to that of supporting students.
