Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to suggest another way to improve the classroom lessons in Korea. Lately, the Korean government has been trying to improve classroom lessons by implementing teacher's ability improvement measurements including classroom lesson ability measurements. But this produces many negative side effects such as the credibility issues of the result of the measurements and conflicts among teachers. To solve this problem we should look for alternative ways, especially in classroom lesson observation method. The observation methods to classroom lesson known to us in general have observer watch classroom lesson from his or her own viewpoint within pre-determined categories. Above all, most of the observation methods do not let the observer see the student's experiences in classroom lessons. So, there is the possibility of misunderstanding and missed prescription for classroom lessons. Checklist observation method used in the classroom lesson ability measurement is a typical case of such a problem. "Classroom lesson understanding of anthropology of education" is a classroom lesson observation method to overcome this problem. This method enables the observer to look into the pupil's experience in a classroom lesson from a pupil's viewpoint, and converts his or her viewpoint applied to see a classroom lesson from teacher's to pupil's. And this method help the teacher-observer reflect his or her classroom lesson, and develop the ability to find out the proper way to improve his or her classroom lesson by himself of herself. Through this process, the method can spark conversation among teachers, and transform the culture of silence into culture of conversation in Korean schools.
