Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to arrest an ongoing didactisation of teaching leading to the disappearance of the original content of knowledge.

Design/methodology/approach

Teaching can only be understood within its inner logic by exploring the individual expression of pedagogical practice in three dimensions: education, formation (Bildung), and didactics.

Findings

The use of sequence analysis is an effective method for the pedagogically based formation of teachers as professionals.

Originality/value

This research exposes evident contradictions between teaching and learning. It advances the view that Lesson Study be seen as the reconstruction of teaching for learning through sequence analysis of lessons.
