I don't know very much about the Japanese Education System and would really like to know how it differs from the education system in North America. My assumptions are that there there is less focus on inquiry and group work

I want to know how they differ from our schooling system. What types of teaching strategies do they use?

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
K:
- Very traditionally focussed.
- Engineered to give students the opportunity to move out of the country and into mainland europe or the western world.

I know that the Japanese education system is far more demanding and involves a different style of teaching. As an example, many Japanese teachers have collaborative work periods that are based on like groups. Also, there are some different ways of doing things such as math. As an example, Japanese students learn to do multiplication using lines. The lines provide a visual for what multiplication actually is.

I want to know more about the best practices in the Japanese education system. Perhaps, they could be implemented into my own practice.

What do I know: I don't know much but all that I have heard is that they are very strict.

I know that, when it comes to math students are given hard math problems to work through and solve.

I want to know is the Japanese system better than North america?

# data[].attributes.body
KNOW: I do not know much about lesson study and the Japanese education system, I do hear bits and pieces about Mathematics being very important, and along with accuracy, the speed at which one completes his or her Math calculations is essential to being "good" at Math

WANT: I want to know what makes the Japanese education system is better than the Canadian education system, and how we can bring those strategies and environment styles into our classrooms over here. I am also interested in knowing whether or not it would even be effective to bring the teaching strategies of another country into our systems here.

LEARNED: Lesson studies can be very effective in our educational practice. This topic again ties into being collaborative, and similar to the Japanese education system, to look at collaboration as something that is not only positive, but beneficial. We may be teachers, but we are always learners. There are always areas of improvement, and learning from our colleagues is one of the best ways to do so.

I recently did some research on the Japanese education system for another class and know that they are heavily lecture based and tend to focus more on unity as opposed to individuality.

I would like to know more about lesson study as its is still something that I feel I could understand much better.

I have learned that when done well, lesson studies can be incredible opportunities for collaborative learning.
