Formulating Lesson Subject Matters from Students’ Computational Thinking through Lesson Study: Collaborative Planning Phase

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the practices of formulating lesson subject matters from students’ computational thinking through lesson study: collaborative planning phase. The target group was lesson study team who were working in the second semester of the academic year 2020 at Bansadao School, Phitsanulok Province. Research Instruments were teacher’s field notes audio-video recorders and the first grade of computing textbook. The data was collected by videorecording, photographs and teacher’s field notes in planning phase that included 10 weeks. The data were analyzed by documentary analysis, content analysis and video analysis with protocol analysis. The data were presented in term of analytical description. The findings showed that the lesson study team practices as follows: 1) analyzing computational real world, symbols, keywords and a practical guide to use technology from each page. 2) seeking students’ problematics with a practical guide to use technology from students’ perspective 3) seeking more ways to solve the problem through students’ perspective 4) classifying the students’ computational thinking and 5) discussing for formulate lesson subject matters and learning objectives through students’ computational thinking. Then the lesson study team designed situations, worksheets and orchestrating discourse which concerned students’ computational thinking.
