Analysis of a lesson as an educational resource of enhancing the quality of future teacher training

Abstract

The article considers the text composition as a method to shape future teachers’ pedagogical reflexive component, i.e. their ability to analyze a lesson. On the basis of the survey the author reveals such problems in analyzing a lesson as lack of motivation, its formality, detachment in analysis grounds and its realization, absence of analysis results in improvement of teaching methods. The article introduces the technique which includes reconstruction, an analytical comment and analytical generalization to teach the lesson analysis via the text. By reconstructing a lesson or its episode, students recover methodological joint activity at the lesson thus expressing their perception including interest, surprise and attitude to the lesson itself. The analytical comment presents the second text which means that students, having preliminary stated the grounds, analyze the situations using the information from reconstruction and formulate questions. Analytical generalization includes a valid assessment of joint work organized by the teacher during the lesson, detection of problematic issues and their solution. Comprising a textual analysis of the lesson is considered an educational resource in enhancing the quality of future teacher training methods. It means that students reveal methodological activity at the lesson as the way to organize cooperation and master their professional skills.
