    Abstract

    This paper will report on an effort to integrate the simulated-teaching Lesson studyapproach in the

    chemistry teaching methods course offered to third year students in a science teacher education

    program. The integrated Lesson study has promised an effective teacher development methods

    focusing on developing the appropriate skills of teaching and continual improvement of student

    performance in the classroom. A total of 44 students enrolled in the course were involved in the

    project. They were divided into eight groups based on their major and minor science subjects. Each

    group of students conducted three cycles of Lesson study for one topic of form four or form five

    chemistry syllabus. The improvement of simulated-teachingLesson studyperformance was measured

    at each cycle by using the instrument Lesson Study Performance Assessment Form that consisted of

    two parts: the performance of teacher candidate and participating students; gives the totalled

    measurement three times (three cycle) by the teacher educator and peer group member. The

    measurement conducted during the teaching observation is perceived as a beneficial experience hence

    enable them to evaluate and revise the lesson in detail particularly the teaching of teacher candidate

    and participating students throughout the lesson study process in chemistry subject for secondary

    syllabus.

    Introduction

    The direction of teacher education in Malaysia is growing in line with changes in the

    educational systems through the aspirations of the national education system that is depends upon

    economic, political and social factors. Training in teacher education is to organize specific training

    courses for specific levels of instruction for variety of school in Malaysia. Teacher training in

    Malaysia is led by the Teacher Education Division (BPG), the Institute of Teacher Education (IPG)

    and Public Higher Education Institutions (IPTA). These bodies are responsible for planning and

    implementing teacher training to meet the needs of teachers in all educational institutions country.

    The IPTA particularly University Science of Malaysia (USM) generally the Bachelor of

    Science with Education is offered for four years. The science subject (Chemistry, Biology, Physics

    and Mathematics) from the School of Science is integrated with the educational subjects aiming to

    produce secondary school teachers who can teach science and mathematics and other related subjects.With this in mind the teacher education program will provide a professional, dedicated and innovative

    science or mathematic teachers and educational services officers with a broad perspective on overall

    research, also having a deep knowledge on teaching and learning, able to teach the relevant skills

    in different circumstances and have a positive attitude towards school, education and society.

    Particularly the program aims to produce teachers who can teach at least one subject or mathematics

    up to form six. (Buku Panduan SMSP, 2010)

    The pre service teachers are trained to teach at least two science subjects. Students of science

    education will take the science of chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics as a majoror minor

    subject. There are two key elements in the professional component of teacher education programs

    offered: educational courses and practical training. Educational courses offered are conducted in a

    formal and systematic process of learning to teach. This course provides an opportunity for pre

    service teachers to be more exposed to the knowledge base needed about teaching so then can go out

    and teach atschools. Students must take courses teaching science methods to meet the requirements of

    this program.

    Learning to teach refers to the preparation of pre service teachers to learn to be teachers

    through teaching method courses and practical training in real schools. During the course of teacher

    education, they learn to teach through simulated teaching and microteaching as part of the coursework

    requirements. This teaching practice is hoped to help pre service teachers to 'see' the relevance of

    courses to actual classroom practice. The component of teaching practice is seen as a necessary

    component in teacher education program.

    Learning to teach through teaching practice should be emphasized that the method can meet

    the characteristics of the construction of teachers' practical knowledge according to Van Driel,

    Beijaard and Verloop (2001), knowledge that is action-oriented and person bound. Practical

    knowledge is constructed by teachers in the context of their work , integrates experiential knowledge,

  • 8/12/2019 LS Assessment Form

    formal knowledge and personal belief. In reviewing the building of teachers practical knowledge in

    teaching , the element of the knowledge base of teaching particularly the concept of pedagogical

    content knowledge (Van Driel, Beijaard and Verloop 2001, Shulman 1986 ) is very much relevent .

    The pre service teacher has to learned how to combine and integrate their content knowledge and

    pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) to produce good teaching in science subjects. However ,

    Hiebart et al(2002) associate the knowledge base of teaching for new teachers with the knowledge of

    practitioner teachers that can be transformed into professional knowledge. Teachers' practical

    knowledge is meant here is the practical knowledge of teachers resulting from their active

    involvement of teachers and teacher reflection, on how to reflect on teaching practices. For example:

    the concept of electrical energy through chemical reactions that can link teachers in the use of battery

    life for students to turn electrical appliances. Here, teachers develop a deeper understanding of the

    subject by linking scientific knowledge and life experience. Teachers practical knowledge is gaining

    useful in the teaching practices as the knowledge is built up through the reaction of teachers teaching

    a specific problem during their instructions.

    Knowledge associated with practice will established basic knowledge of teaching (Shulman

    1987) and organized practical problem solving approach to the teaching. Hiebart et al (2002)

    emphasis teacher professional knowledge developed through collaboration among teachers and need

    to be shared and documented. The results of this documentation can be analyzed and developed

    further in the future and become a reference. Lesson Studyapproach is a method to convert this idea

    of teachers' practical knowledge to professional knowledge in teacher prefesional development

    process.

    Lesson Study is a translation word of Jugyokenkyu. Jugyoumeans instruction or lessons and

    kenkyu means research or study. The term Jugyokenkyu encompasses a large family of instructional

    improvement strategies, the shared feature on which observation of live classroom lessons by a group

    of teachers who collect data on teaching and learning and collaboratively analyze it (Lewis, Perry &

    Murata, 2006). These data are shared during a post-lesson colloquium, where they are used to reflect

    on the lesson and on learning and teaching more broadly (Lewis, 2002). It allows teachers to work

    collaboratively in order to improve the quality of their teaching and enrich students learningexperience.The characteristics of Lesson Study model has contributed to a mechanism for teachers

    to develop knowledge for the purposes of public discussion and evaluation collaboratively . In this

    way teachers will constantly learn to improved their knowledge particularly subject content

    knowledge and PCK in promoting science good teaching through many cycles consequentively. The

    practices should be applied starting from the pre service teachers. Knowledge of learning to teach is

    the knowledge of how to learn from the experience of teaching in the classroom (Hiebart et al, 2007).

    Teaching experience can be designed simulatedly so that results can be reflected and teaching in a

    way that maximum benefit from the experience (Hiebart et al, 2003, Artzt, 1999) .Teacher preparation

    needs to focus on how to build professional knowledge (Korthagen et al , 2006) with attention to

    influence on students science achievement. The pre service teachers has to be motivate to confidently

    exert powerful influence to promote student learning through their expectations of students.

    Lesson studyframework characterize teacher to teach in the eye of students (Lewis,2000),

    giving the opportunity for teachers to observe student participation in the classroom which Lewis

    (2000) states You develop the vision to see the children . Sumar Hendayana et al(2007) have

    shown the role of Lesson Study to develop teachers' knowledge in teaching during teacher

    observations at Lesson Study events. At this stage teacher made a profound observation about the

    response of the instruction provided by teachers to students collaboratively. Background knowledge

    of different observers will give the different perceptions thus provide the situation which allows

    reflection and assessment of interests among the teachers during the next stage of Lesson study

    process, the colloquium reflection of the planned teaching.

    TheLesson studyapproach benefits the pre service teachers the stage that will allow them to

    be assessed consecutively for their performance of the teaching through teacher participation and

    student participation. . In brief the Lesson study for pre service teachers does not involve the real

    students in school. Teaching practice through simulatedLesson studywill only involves their peers

    as participating teachers and participating students. The collegiality among those pre service teachers

    becomes critical factor in helping the teacher to develop classroom practices (McIntyre and Hagger,

    1992).

    Methodology

    A total of 44 students enrolled in the course were involved in the project. They were divided

    into eight groups based on their major and minor science subjects. Each group of students conducted

    three cycles ofLesson studyas microteaching for one lesson, each lesson for 30 minutes for a topic of

    chemistry, electrochemistry form four and form five Redox reactions, syllabus of Secondary school .

    The steps in the implementation process of Lesson Study are in the following order:

    1. Defining the problem

    2. Teaching plan

    3. Teaching (simulated microteaching)

    4. Analyze and evaluate teaching5. Review or revise teaching

    6. Documenting the process of planning and teaching

    The pre service teachers are divided into a group of five people to six people. Group of students will

    collaborate to meet in order to meet the planning, teaching, analyzing, reviewing and revising the

    teaching and learning re-presented. During the implementation of teaching one student will do the

    teaching while others of the same groups become observer together with the teacher educator (taking

    role as knowledgable other) to measure or assess the teaching using the instrument Lesson Study

    Performance Assessment Form . The discussion and reflection during the post colloqium stage is

  • 8/12/2019 LS Assessment Form

    6/10

    6

    make based on the instrument and video lesson intending to produce a discussion towards in- depth

    involvement in instructional planning activities. The same process goes consecutively for three cycle .

    The measurement of the Lesson study group performance is to address the overall question:

    Are they any improvements in teaching skills of pre service teachers for each Lesson studycycle for

    each group of students selected?

    The instrument Lesson Study Performance Assessment Form are consisted of two parts:

    the performance of teacher candidate and participating students; gives the totalled measurement three

    times (three cycle) by the teacher educator and peer group member. The instrument contain eleven

    items to assess for teacher candidate and seven items to assess the simulated participating students

    (their peers) scaling points from 0-3; unacceptable =0 points; weak = 1 point; acceptable=2 point and

    strong= 3point. The item for assessment of teacher candidate teaching is focusing the consideration of

    skills in implementing inquiry in teaching and learning science , developing scientific skills in

    teaching and learning science, developing constructivist environment in science teaching and learning,

    uses of appropriate teaching and learning strategies mainly questioning skills in developing student

    scientific learning experiences and consider the responds appropriately to what students contribute to

    lesson. The item for assessment of participating students is focusing on the building up of science

    process skill, scientific attitudes and noble values among the student through teaching and learning

    strategies in the science curriculum.

    Finding and discussions

    The intensiveLesson studyframework is very useful for the pre service teachers to produce

    a more effective teaching through in-depth involvement in instructional planning activities. Table 1

    shows the result of improvements in teaching skills of pre service teachers for the three consecutive

    Lesson studycycle for one group of students selected.

    The total points for each cycle reflects to answer the overall research questions: Are they any

    improvements in teaching skills of pre service teachers for eachLesson studycycle for each group of

    students selected?

    Generally the data from table 1 shows increment of scores in total points of teacher candidateand participating students (simulated students) after every lesson study cycle. For teacher candidate

    the total points for lesson study cycle 1= 16, total points for lesson study cycle 2=29 and total points

    for lesson study cycle 3= 31 respectively. For participating students candidate the total points for

    lesson study cycle 1= 6, total points for lesson study cycle 2=14 and total points for lesson study

    cycle 3= 21 respectively. The findings shows there are improvements in teaching skills of pre service

    teachers for each Lesson study cycle for each group of students selected. High increment for total

    points from first cycle to second cycle but not much to third for teacher candidate. The totals points

    for participating students improves regularly from one to two and third cycle.

    The total points for the first lesson study cycle of teacher candidate shows is within the range of weak

    to acceptable showing that the pre service teacher is lacking on appropriate skills on teaching

    according to teacher performance assessment. In the first teaching, when planning lesson, teacher

    candidate tend to impart a lot of information regarding content not in within time. Teacher takes more

    than 30 minutes to deliver lesson with many learning outcomes. At this stage, teacher candidate could

    not integrate the content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge coherently. The improvement of the

    lesson after consecutive cycles is remarkably through their observation on other better planning of

    instructions of other Lesson studygroup. The total point of first teaching on participating students is

    within the range unacceptable to weak. The data may reflects the weakness of pedagogical content

    knowledge of the teacher, teacher candidate fail to inquire the teaching of learning through science

    experiment as activity and develop student science process skills . Conducting the experiment is only

    by following the procedure without further in depth discussion. The results obtained is parallel with

    the study by Fernandez (2010) on prospective teachers showing that during the first Lesson study

    cycle the conversations of teachers often veered toward the idea of the teacher imparting the contentsto their students. With each cycle the lesson study performance assessment enables pre service

    teachers to reflects and make adjustment of their teaching according the item and finally enable them

    to produce a satisfied lesson that achieves their learning outcomes. The observers of the teaching

    gathers rich evidence related to the learning goals during the lesson, capturing the complexity of

    actual teaching and learning (Cerbin&Kopp, 2006). Collaborative involvement of peers and teacher

    educator as knowledgeable other will fosters mutual understanding of teaching goals , teaching

    practices and student learning . Not much different on score for questioning skills (item10) and

    considering students idea (item 11) because the item needs teacher experience in facing real students

    while the program is a stimulation and the pre service is not teaching the real classroom students.

    Conclusion

    The Lesson study Performance Assessment form provided a rubric to monitor teacher candidate

    performance and student participating performance in a science teaching and learning. Within three

    cycles of active planning, discussion, teaching and reflectionLesson studyexplicitly motivates the pre

    service teacher to investigate their teaching performance consecutively and therefore improves their

    content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of the topic. The measurement conducted

    during the teaching observation is perceived as a beneficial experience hence enable them to evaluate

    and revise the lesson in detail particularly the teaching of teacher candidate and participating students

    throughout the lesson study process in chemistry subject for secondary syllabus.
