What is Lesson Study?
Lesson Study is one of the CPD activities to improve the way teachers teach. They work together in subject groups to research what happens in their lessons and to find solutions to improve their teaching. It is called “study” because it is an activity to verify effectiveness of a teaching approach, using evidence.
During Lesson Study, teachers investigate the best teaching and learning methods for learners in their school. In a live lesson, teacher-observers research how a lesson-giver’s actions and facilitation, especially on specific problems (research topics), are effective in helping learners during lessons, and then report on the results so that all Lesson Study group members can benefit from it.
The Lesson Study process forms a continuous cycle.
