A PSYCHOGOGIC PERSPECTIVE OF LESSON STUDY FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Psychogogy – the Greek words psycho means ‘mind’ and gogy means ‘to lead’ – literally refers to ‘leading the mind’. First coined by Oswald Schwartz in 1925 to describe process for helping people to become self-actualized, the term has since evolved and today it means a different thing. According to Chia and Ng (2011), it is an instructive theory that includes psychological influence on a learner’s mind in terms of his/her learning and thinking abilities, feelings and will to perform or act and whose behavioural traits interlinked by various senses through different sensory processes in order to establish his/her own perception and belief through interaction with others within a given socio-cultural context. With this perspective in mind, Lesson Study (LS) becomes a kind of collaborative inquiry tool that can be used by the special education teachers to observe their students with special needs, explore how the student learning, thinking and behaviour change as a result of the lesson planned, taught, observed, evaluated, re-planned and re-taught.
