Although reflections on the past, present and future are very important skills for a reflective educator, these may not be adequate to solve problems or meet certain challenges in the classrooms. Each of us has a limited capacity to change a practice or to find new practices that will work for ourselves. Your reflections can be significantly enhanced by systematic collection and analysis of data from your students, and working together with the rest of your colleagues. By using a suitable '''research method''', you can move beyond just focusing on yourself, to engage your students and colleagues in deliberation on how to improve their teaching and learning experiences in the classroom. '''Action research''' and '''lesson study''' are two methods that can help you to develop professionally: to improve elements of your practice or to address wider issues beyond an individual’s classroom. You have been very briefly introduced to lesson study in 6.2. You will learn about action research in this session. | Although reflections on the past, present and future are very important skills for a reflective educator, these may not be adequate to solve problems or meet certain challenges in the classrooms.
