Developing student teachers’ approaches to group teaching in placement learning

Tóm tắt

The purpose of this research aims to develop teaching methodology of pedagogical students
through small-group teaching practice in group of 4-5 students. All activities that have been conducted
by researching the lesson to advance the teaching method of students are: (1) setting goals: identify
specific student needs and formulate curricular goals, (2) plans: develop lesson plans; devise data  -collection strategies; rationalize the approach; anticipate students’ responses, (3) implementation: one or two members of the team teach the public lessons in high schools where students from University of Education have placement learning, while other members observe  and collect data, such as video documentation and working samples, (4) debrief: analyze collected data; discuss about students’
learning, teachers’ teaching, relative pedagogical content learning. We used Kobo software and Maastricht-Peer Activity Rating  Scale in order to observe and evaluate the teaching  –  learning activities in small group of students. The results show that using reflection thinking while teaching by
small group would help students to improve their teaching methods more efficiently.
