The teacher then amends the lesson plan based on the discussions with other teachers.
In some cases, the cycle of meeting and amending is repeated several times. In some other
cases, the teacher asks for feedback from the principal or a supervisor of the administration
office. To write and discuss a lesson, it may take one month.
In lesson plans in Kazakhstan, teachers write teacher’s activities in detail, but less ex-
pected students’ reaction. In Japanese lesson plans, it’s more important to note how students
react to the teacher’s instruction or question.
For example, when students are asked “How to add 37 to 28?”, some will calculate
30+20=50, 7+8=15, 50+15=65, others will calculate 28=3+25, 37+3=40, 40+25=65, and
others will calculate 28=13+15, 37+13=50, 50+15=65. In a real lessen, students will show
unexpected ideas and so the teacher should expect maximum possibility of student’s idea.
In addition to expecting students’ ideas, summarizing process of the lesson is impor-
tant. The objective of this lesson may be “to understand an efficient way of calculation”.
Students can calculate in various ways, but they should know which is the best way to
calculate two-digit numbers.
