I've just discovered the notion of "Japanese Research Lessons" courtesy of Mark Pratt, Deputy Head Teacher of Rounds Green Primary School, in England who recently signed up for my knowledge-letter. Google has found me a whole site on the subject. I've had little time to read the material yet but it looks quite fascinating. Pity that most of the site consists of PDF files and I can't find a short one paragraph overview of what they are all about. I guess I am just going to have to do a lot of reading! The best definition I have found so far is about shifting from "teaching as telling" to "teaching for understanding".
Certainly in my school boy days at a traditional English boy's grammar school some 30+ years ago I was taught by 'telling'. Its amazing I ever
learnt or should I say 'understood' anything |
