THE EFFECT OF LESSON STUDY METHOD ON TEACHER’S PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

This article focuses on aspects of the Japanese Lesson Study method as well as professional development for teachers. Lesson Study is a professional teacher development model that aims to improve the teaching and learning process. Based on the practice of lesson study, this paper proposes a model for developing pedagogical knowledge and improving teaching. Recent research has suggested that effective professional learning would last forever. This necessitates a daily examination of the teachers. It is becoming increasingly important for teachers to mutually observe and jointly reflect on classroom practices in order to develop such a community. The purpose of this article is to go over the planning and implementation of Lesson Study.
