The Study of a Teacher's Special Skill to Comment on Others' Lived World

Abstract

The purposes of this paper are to report a new practice for teachers and to clalify the significance of it. The practice was performed for the first time at my lesson of educational methods with the university students. The main purpose of the practice was to identify the teachers' skill to understand and comment on others' lived world. The lived world in this case was represented by one's favorite things in all fields. The "lived" world is originally the term of phenomenology which this paper is based on theoretically. To comment on others' own lived world we must understand not only their world but also our own world. Through the practice, we could get a concept that the ability to encounter other's lived world is one of the most important ability for teachers. In conclusion, this paper is an enterprise to present a new practice of commenting for teachers education.
