And it certainly requires more than just "two minutes of research on Google," which is how Khan describes his own pre-lesson routine.
This perhaps explains the absence of doubt and emphasis on ritual – the pre-lesson mantra, for example – that leads some parents to compare the school, only half-jokingly, to a cult.
I want to do the sorts of things Christ asked us to do: doing your best for children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds". This perhaps explains the absence of doubt and emphasis on ritual – the pre-lesson mantra, for example – that leads some parents to compare the school, only half-jokingly, to a cult.
This phase is the pre-lesson explanation.
Participants also produced these same four gesture types in their pre-lesson explanations (see Appendix 4).
Table 5 also shows that not all students had done the pre-lesson video preparation for the four lessons.
However, participants produced the full suite of gesture types before ever seeing this lesson, in their pre-lesson explanations.
The post-lesson explanation is again the focus of our analyses (see Appendix 4 for basic information about gesture during the pre-lesson explanations).
The collected data include a pre-lesson questionnaire, students' written sheets during the lessons, audio-recordings of class observations, and interviews with the class teachers.
The pre-lesson questionnaire was filled out by individual students, while the peer-critique activity was performed by the designated research groups.
Students' written questions during the peer-critique activity were collected, analyzed, and compared to the students' questions in the pre-lesson questionnaire and to their final research questions, investigated in the Bio-Tech program.
