Lesson Study-Das Spiel/ The Game
How can we introduce the concept of Lesson Study to educators in a way that is collaborative, enjoyable, motivating and also informative? In response to this question, our research group from the University of Potsdam developed a board game that mimics a Lesson Study process. The game aims to support educators in developing their knowledge about Lesson Study as well as their collaboration, reflection, and observation skills prior to participating in Lesson Study themselves. “Lesson Study – The Game” is based on a real Lesson Study process and can be completed by three to six players in about two hours, with or without the assistance of an external facilitator.
The game is open access and can be downloaded for free in either German or English from our website: https://www.uni-potsdam.de/de/lesson-study/materialien/lesson-study-das-spiel
The game setup is explained in the printing instructions.
If you have any questions about the game or you want to give us feedback on it, feel free to contact us: lemas@uni-potsdam.de
