Lesson Study with Mathematics and Science Preservice Teachers

Rezensionen / Stimmen

From a European perspective, we have massively enjoyed reading this timely book about the use of Lesson Study in pre-service teaching and teacher training in U.S. contexts. Because of the widespread school contexts in the U.S., this book is an attempt to structure and provide guidance for teacher educators. Lesson Study provides a framework for naming that diversity and acting as a connecting link. This book is highly recommended for any teacher educator with a broad interest in other cultures.

This book is a 'must' for anyone running or teaching pre-service mathematics or science teacher education courses who either wants to introduce lesson study into their programme or who wants to enrich the way they are currently using lesson study. Each chapter provides a deep-dive into a particular aspect of lesson study, experienced with pre-service teachers and presented in ways that address the challenges and key rewards each account offers. As a result, this book will dramatically increase the success such new programmes can have from the outset and the potential for emerging science and mathematics teachers to gain significantly and lastingly from early lesson study experiences in pre-service teacher education programmes everywhere.

Grounded in research and practice, this book develops a framework of adapted lesson study with preservice teachers, illustrates each phase of the framework, and shows cases of how lesson study can help develop preservice mathematics and science teachers' competencies for addressing various challenges in their future teaching. It is a must-read book for those who care about preparing high quality teachers in STEM education.
