Enhancing the Teaching Skills of the Multi-Grade Teachers through Lesson Study

Abstract

Teaching in the multi-grade class is more difficult than monograde for teachers,                                                                                             however, multi-grade teaching was defined as the
best strategy to achieving access to Education For All (EFA) of children
especially those from rural areas. Teachers have been working diligently
but unmethodical in their classroom. This study aimed to improve and
enhance the teachers' professional skills which they have been facing in
the classroom through the Lesson study and discuss why most of the
teachers did not like to prepare and/or develop lesson plans. There
were 100 participants who teach in the multi-grade schools in the
Salavan district. The results represented that pre-test scores and posttest                                                                                                             scores from two of training groups were significantly different and
found that most of teachers do not usually prepare lesson plans. The
research findings also determined that a Lesson study can be beneficial
to enhance the development the teachers' professional skills.
