Expanding and Generalizing Lesson Study for Improvement of the Quality of Teaching among
APEC member economies
Collaborative Studies on Innovations for Teaching and Learning Mathematics in Different Cultures
APEC Lesson Study Project, Proposed by Thailand and Japan
Project Overseer; Isoda, Masami. CRICED, University of Tsukuba, Japan.
17 economies participated,11 economies endorsed.
What is Lesson Study?Teachers engage in improvement of their practice within groups through ‘Plan, Do and See’ processes. It enable teachers to develop students and enable us to improve curriculum and to learn what is professional development, and so on.

A teacher is a challenger.

Professional Development of In-service Teachers
86% of Economies are engaging in movement of Lesson Study for improvement.The Project is: Useful for Improvement of the Quality of Education 100%.

Lesson Study for Improvement of Classroom Teaching
OECD-PISA Competency• Reading Literacy
– Argumentation
• Mathematical Literacy– thinking and reasoning; – modeling; – problem posing and solving; – argumentation; – communication; – representation;– and using symbolic, formal and technical language and
operations
The Competency and Problems could be seen on the website but very difficult to know how to develop it.
Seeing Is Believing!Videos show:
What is it? How to prepare it?

A U.S. teacher said , “Before Lesson Study, we had talked about multiple intelligences, constructivism and so on, but never talked about the contents of teaching. In the Lesson Study project, we began to talk about the subject matter, why we teach it, how we teach it and what students learn from the lesson”

What should we change? Messages for APEC economies for Having Leadership each other
Researcher used to say that‘Teacher should be a researcher!’
for getting students’ perspectives Excellent Teacher says,and we say in Lesson Study
‘A researcher should be a teacher!’
for enabling to suggest teachers
how to develop good practice.
Most researchers meet the problem how to teach because they do not have any teachers’ perspective.

Development of Teacher’s Perspectives ‘Kodomo wo miru me’ for MathematicsResponsibility for my lesson, Self-confidence
A U.S. teacher said, “I developed the eyes (teacher’s perspective) to look at students and subject matters “Kodomo wo miru me”. Now, I am well aware of my responsibility for my lesson. In the lesson study with other teachers, I preferred the more challenging lesson such as with Open-ended problems. When I found that students can challenge such difficult problems, I recognized self-confidence in my lessons” ”
Pedagogical Content Knowledge
Shulman, L. S.(1986) categorized teachers’ knowledge bases for necessary their teaching practice into seven categories. Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is a category which will be integrated with Content knowledge, Pedagogical knowledge, and so on in teaching context.
Shulman (1987) proposed following developmental process of PCK.
Comprehension (Didactical) Transformation: preparation, representation, selection, adaptation and tailoring

A Shocking data
• Teachers do not learn from their teaching experience.
• Dewey, J. ‘Experience is the result of reflection’– Teachers do not have
appropriate experience.
– Teacher educators must prepare appropriate experience.

2) Supporting Challenges of Each Economy through Lesson Study
In Chile, Oct.2007, total 2300 people observed a model of teaching approach at Seven Auditoriums

Wiki & K. BankUS
Why is it necessary?
It is still a weak movement.We have some models, teachers and specialists. Now, it grown up the small community in APEC and we have sharable Wiki site.
How can we enhance it in economies and to other subject?
The Language Barrier: Education is deeply related on the culture. We need good models in each language.
How can overcome the Language Barrier?
Quality of Product.Improving through the Wiki and Asking world famous specialist to give Commentaries of videos
