Effective Practice of Mathematics Teaching: Through the Lesson Stury Model
Journal Title: The Journal of International Social Research - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
In light of the lack of attention given to Lesson Study Model (LSM) in South African mathematics education, this study used methodology derived from LSM to study effective teaching of mathematics in a historically Black South African University students (50) pursuing a Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) programme in the greater Eastern Cape Province. The paper presented empirical work related to effective teaching of mathematics in order to determine major issues of importance for future research and to understand the issues in relation to theory and application of LSM in South Africa context. The study applied a two phased sequential mixed methods. In the first phase, analysis of MANOVA and repeated-measures ANOVA were done to investigate whether there was a significant difference or not between groups in respect of experimental and control groups. In the second phase, interviews were done in order to explore different aspects and opinions of planning via the LSM. The two main findings included (a) LSM was a better predictor of improving mathematics teaching and (b) distinct views on LSM could be identified by the mathematics teachers in the process of using LSM. One of the implications from the study was that LSM could be accepted as a turning point in developing the metacognitive skills, emphasising the reflective teaching and learning and providing internal consistency of instructional planning. Additionally, LSM provides a framework within which prospective teachers as well as teachers could model not only the way they teach, but also the way they examine and analyse their teaching.
