Abstract
The development of 21st century learners, it requires teaching methods that focus on hands- on activity and learning experiences. Nowadays, teaching styles, especially in mathematics classroom are not able to fully function, because of the main reasons is the teaching practice of teachers. This research aims to 1) assess the competencies of teachers in teaching mathematics, and 2) Find out how to enhancing teacher competency in teaching Mathematics for learners in 21st century with Lesson Study and open Approach. The target group were 3 primary Mathematics teachers and 84 students in first grade, second grade and third grade from Phetphadungweingchai School, Chaiya, Suratthani. Research methodology uses mixed method. Research tools include: video recorded, lesson plans, observation notes, classroom reflection form, interviews with teachers and students and the Mathematics teaching competency appraisal form. The data were analyzed by means of descriptive analysis and Statistical used were mean and percent.
The research results found 3 mathematics’ teacher competency have mean of competency in teaching Mathematics before entering the program in all aspects was 2.79 which was low and less than the mean of competency in teaching Mathematics after the program in all aspects was 4.19 which was high. Cause of these result were in the beginning of practice, the teacher may lack of experience and they are not clear understanding in using of textbooks, interpretation and objective of the lessons. After teaching practice in the real classroom, teachers see problems as well as the ideas of students that take place in the classroom and use it’s for improve their teaching can lead them have higher competency in teaching Mathematics than the beginning. An analysis of how to enhancing teacher competency in Mathematics teaching can summing up in 3 ways: 1) Providing innovative ideas and innovative approaches to practice in classroom such as workshops, Textbook ‘analysis and using, Open class etc. 2) Implementing innovations in real classrooms and improve consistently. and 3) Team working, both in terms of planning, observation and reflection, to share a variety of perspectives on classroom development.
