Traditional methods of classroom observation, such as sitting at the back of the classroom, often pose challenges in guiding teacher education students (TESs) to think useful teaching methods related to young students’problems on learning. This study developed a method of classroom observation and further post-teaching debriefing on young students’responses to teaching activities for assisting TESs to build a relationship between learning problems of students and teaching activities. This study aimed to investigate the performances of TESs and changes in the ability of instructional design. A teacher education course, named teaching professional practice, was employed to implement the aforementioned method. A total of 22 TESs enrolled in the courses and were divided in 6 groups. Each group consisted of 3 or 4 TESs and was asked to prepare lesson plans, implement the plans by turns, and classroom observation in a specific junior high school classroom. Afterwards, the member of a group discussed their observation records. The aforementioned activities were executed three times in the second semester of 110th academic year. This study employed a mixed method research to collect observation records, a questionnaire of self-efficacy in lesson plan, and open-ended questions regarding the aforementioned method. This study identified that TESs have achieved the mastery level on classroom observation, while their ability to analyze young students performances did not, even though revealing a significant and positive change. Moreover, the changes in the ability of instructional design was significant. This study demonstrated that sufficient evidences from collecting young students’performances during observation and collective analysis of group members on collected data were a vital source for their reflections on their teaching plans. |
