Observation Report
Observer: Mukhammadiyeva Shakhzoda
Observation Date: 17.01.24
Lessons Observed: Hasanova Sevinch’s and Amrilloyeva Sabrina’s
Participating in classroom observations is an essential aspect of our
practice, allowing us to analyze various teaching methods. While our initial
experiences with observing our peers' lessons sparked some reluctance, we
quickly realized the value of this practice for both observers and teachers.
Observation provides practical experience crucial for the development of young
educators. Post-lesson discussions further contribute to reflective analysis,
helping teachers identify areas for improvement and innovate their teaching
methods.
Observation of Hasanova Sevinch’s Lesson:
Hasanova Sevinch’s lesson was well-prepared and organized. The incorporation
of diverse warming-up activities at the beginning engaged young learners,
enhancing vocabulary revision and pronunciation improvement. However, one
notable observation was the use of group work at the lesson's outset. It became
evident that, with young learners, introducing a new theme individually may
capture their attention more effectively, saving group activities for later stages
when concentration levels tend to wane.
The most successful activity was the matching game, fostering group
collaboration. Pupils enthusiastically participated in matching pictures, words,
and transcriptions, followed by reading and translation exercises. This
interactive approach effectively achieved the lesson's goals of revising
vocabulary and transcription while making learning enjoyable.
While the lesson succeeded in interactive elements, it lacked sufficient use of
the blackboard. Incorporating written exercises on the blackboard could
enhance concentration, providing a visual aid for students to focus on during the
lesson.
Observation of Amrilloyeva Sabrina’s Lesson:
Amrilloyeva Sabrina’s lesson shared similarities with Hasanova Sevinch’s in
terms of effective preparation and organization. Warming-up activities were
engaging and tailored to young learners, fostering vocabulary revision and
pronunciation improvement.
The matching game was again a highlight, promoting collaboration and
reinforcing vocabulary, transcription, and speech skills. The interactive group
activity effectively combined learning with an enjoyable, game-like atmosphere.
Similar to the previous lesson, there was room for improvement in the
utilization of the blackboard. Incorporating written exercises on the blackboard
could provide a clearer focus for students, enhancing concentration during the
lesson.
Reflection and Conclusion:
Conducting a lesson is a significant responsibility, given that children absorb
information like clear sheets of paper. These observations reinforced the
understanding that every word and activity in the classroom leaves an imprint
on young minds. Continuous learning and improvement are crucial for aspiring
teachers, and the experience of observing and analyzing different teaching
approaches is invaluable. Reflecting on the successes and areas for
improvement in these lessons have inspired me to deepen my understanding of
effective teaching practices and strive for continuous professional development.
