Lesson Study (LS) has been viewed as a valuable model for teacher professional development and has been widely conducted in many countries and districts. The general curriculum guidelines of 12-year basic education included LS into the teacher professional item to establish a school-based and collaborative culture among Taiwanese teachers. However, the major LS discussions have revolved around theoretical points in Taiwan, and the empirical study of LS has been scant. In addition, educational scholars' comprehension of how LS contributes to teachers' professional growth is limited. Therefore, this study adapted the sociocultural approach for discourse analysis and the framework of mathematics knowledge for teaching proposed by Ball et al. to construct a scheme for LS talk analysis (SLSTA) to analyze mathematics teachers' peer interactions in conducting LS. We took the LS of a fifth graders' mathematics unit conducted by four teachers as a case to exemplify SLSTA and to identify the teachers' professional development. Data analysis suggested that the reliability of SLSTA was satisfactory. The majority of teachers' talk was exploratory and demonstrated pedagogical content knowledge. Although these teachers spent more time on lesson preparations than lesson reflections, the lesson reflections did not benefit the teachers' professional growth less than the lesson preparations. This framework, SLSTA, expects to examine and escalate the LS quality and contribute to understanding teacher professional development. |
