Step 6 - Debriefing the Research Lesson
| Perhaps the most important step in Lesson Study, the debrief session is a
rich opportunity to reflect upon those parts of the lesson that are
meaningful to students, and those that are not.
It begins with the instructor’s reflections on the research lesson as
taught, especially any difficulty he or she may have encountered. |
Module 4: Teaching and
Debriefing the Research Lesson |
The debrief continues as the team discusses the data that were collected
by observers, the differences between what was planned and anticipated and
what actually occurred, all focused on the actions and reactions of the
students. The discussion of what went well is as important as the discussion
of what did not.
This discussion is captured by the group so that it may be used to revise the
research lesson if necessary or desired, as well as to document the Lesson
Study process. |
