    This study aims to examine how cross cultural analysis can lead to deeper understanding of the cultural script of teaching, and how teachers learn to transform their teaching script through a research-based transnational learning platform. In this study, emphasis is placed on a cross cultural analysis to view in depth the cultural script of teaching mathematics in Korea through the eyes of Japanese teachers and critical lenses of re-searchers’ feedback. The objective herein is to focus on the challenges whereby Korean teachers have to redesign teaching as they look at students as problem solvers. This cross cultural analysis attempts to deter-mine the cultural script of teaching mathematics in Korea and improve the quality of teaching from the following two perspectives: 1) teacher teaching, and 2) student learning.

    This study analyses the teaching scripts and structure of lesson practices of a Singaporean English teacher at two different levels of class through a comparative analysis. Specifically, it aims to clarify how his view of teaching as tacit knowledge determines the structure of the lessons. The emphasis here is on the examination of a Singaporean's teacher's view and his
    awareness of the students and their teaching materials at hand through the lens of Japan‐based educators and the implications for education policy.

    This study aims to reveal the teaching script and structure of lesson practice of two seventh-grade Japanese mathematics teachers a novice and expert through comparative analysis of mathematics lessons. Specifically, it aims to clarify how the teachers views of teaching as tacit knowledge determine lesson structure and share the same culture in different forms in practice. This comparative analysis shows how the lessons can be described as sharing the same teaching culture in different forms from the following two perspectives: (1) methods of mathematical communication between teacher and students, and (2) approaches to dealing with mathematical concepts.

  10. Raising the quality of teaching through Kyouzai Kenkyuu – the study of teaching materials

    Sarkar Arani M.R.

    International Journal for Lesson and Learning Studies   Vol. 6 ( 1 ) page: 10 - 26   2017

    Publisher:International Journal for Lesson and Learning Studies  

    Purpose: This study attempts to provide cross-cultural learning by focusing on a very important aspect of research, the study of teaching materials, known as Kyouzai Kenkyuu in Japan. The purpose of this paper is to investigate teachers’ views and awareness about the study of teaching materials, in particular, the views and awareness of Iranian teachers, who are beginning to understand their teaching practice and professional development through lesson study. Design/methodology/approach: Qualitative research methods were employed for data collection. These methods included comparative analysis of an Iranian mathematics lesson from the perspective of Japanese educators and semi-structured interviews with all participants of the lesson analysis meetings. Findings: The findings are intended to position Kyouzai Kenkyuu as an important aspect of Japanese lesson study and to make explicit the beliefs and values that underpin and shape pedagogical reasoning that support researchers and practitioners to improve the quality of teaching through lesson study. This was achieved through post-lesson discussion meetings, and the beliefs and values were those the participants were largely unaware of but could be clarified through a cross-cultural comparison. For instance, Japanese teachers focus more on learners and the study of teaching materials for raising the quality of teaching, whereas Iranian teachers focus more on the content of teaching and teacher behavior. Research limitations/implications: This study delivers a transnational learning opportunity for teachers and researchers to learn how to provide evidence-based analysis of a lesson to raise the quality of teaching. However, as this is a case study and focuses specifically on Kyouzai Kenkyuu, it opens up the possibility for comparative analysis of more sample lessons and other aspects of Japanese lesson study. Practical implications: It may be interesting for teachers and researchers to see how such a study could help them revise their quality of teaching through lesson study and construct shared knowledge about how to teach and to clarify “the pedagogical theories” that underpin such knowledge building. Social implications: The value of this study is in its ability to reveal to educators their own unconscious teaching script and knowledge and “the pedagogical theories” that underpin such knowledge. It provides an opportunity for evidence-based critiques of our own teaching script, theory, view and values that we accept culturally, share tacitly and may not even be aware of in the construction process. Originality/value: This study combines careful measurement with an “insider’s perspective” from Iran and an “outsider’s perspective” from Japan of differing educational concepts within the same subject area. The objective is to provide a deeper understanding of the real world of lesson study and how it can help educators to construct shared knowledge about how to teach in practice and to support teachers to revise the cultural context of teaching.

    The objective of this study was to investigate student mistakes within the framework of a cultural script. It focused on a cross-cultural analysis to provide an in-depth understanding of several aspects of making mistakes from different cultural perspectives, with a particular emphasis on the teacher's attitudes toward student mistakes, how mistakes are treated and dealt with in class, and how learning from mistakes is managed. The study capitalizes on the advantages of an evidence-based lesson analysis, a method of research on teaching that offers opportunities for deep reflections about formative assessment.

    A qualitative case study design was used to collect and analyze observations and verbal interactions in a single 20-student grade ten mathematics class in Malaysia, including both student and teacher dialog.

    The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a system for teachers to collaboratively engage in class research and analysis at schools.
    In this study, we developed a system that, in addition to recording classroom speech, visualizes and displays the amount of speech by the teacher and students, the position of the first occurrence of the focus word, the tendency of the appearance of the focus word, and the breakdown of the classroom scene (segmentation) based on this information. We also developed a prototype version of a method that uses images from a spy camera (a video camera worn next to the eyes) attached to the teacher to obtain the teacher's position in the classroom, and then displays the results of what the teacher is doing at that moment (speaking, writing, listening, or other).

    This study focuses on the difference of professional culture of Japan and Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan started lesson study on 2013, with coaching by Chichibu. In Kazakhstan, teachers in a lesson study group focus on self-professional development rather than organizational problem-solving. They try to show the outcome of lesson study with statistical data. In contrast in Japan, teachers focus on organizational problem-solving in lesson study. If teachers can’t share mission or goal of the school, the lesson study may fail to get an effective result. With this study, the feature and problem of lesson study in Japanese and Kazakhstan became clear.

    Following Hargreaves and Fullan's framework of professional capital, this study analyzes the structure of the organizational transformation of schools' human capital, social capital, and decisional capital through lesson study.
    Various methods of lesson study have been proposed, but the key to any of them is the depth of reflection and agency of the teacher. In this study, we set up a framework in which the situation in which teachers' agency and the deepening of reflection mutually influence each other is defined as decisional capital, which is expanded in a cyclical manner with social capital and human capital. We analyzed cases in which school agency was exercised through the coaching by the educational committee, and at the same time, the level of reflection within the school was deepened.

    This research results are the following four points. First, it was reconfirmed that the concept of Baligh (Bulugh in Arabic) in Islamic teachings is important as a concept relating to human development which separates children and adults. Secondly, the passage rituals performed in each region differ in the timing and meaning of implementation. Third, in common with each region, the response to adolescence depends on the Islamic teachings and the social conditions in which the children are placed in the society. There is an ambivalent situation between them. Fourth, the treatment of adolescence gave rise to different interpretations of education, marriage, social communication, and clothes, and there were some discrepancies with religious teachings.

    The purpose of this study was to develop a comparative research design as a lens for deep understanding of cultural foundation of teaching, especially what goes on in the classroom as praxis. Emphasis is here placed on transnational lesson study and cross-cultural lesson analysis as well as transnational learning for designing ‘science of improvement’ and authentic pedagogy. The findings are intended to clarify the communication approach used in the classroom (speaking/listening/memorizing; writing/reading/noting), teaching materials, teacher agency, classroom climate regarding mistakes, meaning of quality of learning, teaching and teacher, cross‐cultural analysis of pedagogy that drives customised teaching for personalised learning etc. This study pays greater attention to the larger stakeholder of the teaching and pedagogical function and learning process, those who are directly involved in the learning, namely, the students.
