Implementation of lesson study for learning community (LSLC) impact on piloting school teachers in Batu City

The LSLC implementation was conducted in five piloting schools in Batu City since 2016. The schools involved included Junrejo 1 Elementary School, Ngaglik I Elementary School, Muhammadiyah 04 Elementary School, Junior High School 1 of Batu and Junior High School 8 of Muhammadiyah. This study aims to identify the impact of LSLC on model teachers in piloting schools. Data was collected by interviewing and filling out questionnaires of teachers involved in LSLC activities. A total of 17 teachers were involved as model teachers, and 50 people were involved as observers during the 2016-2017 implementation. During this period, the school implemented two to four open lessons. The results showed that LSLC provided a different learning experience so that the teacher model was able to: 1) plan learning together with colleagues, 2) open classes for observational activities to get an overview of how students learn responses, 3) conduct collaborative learning reflection studies and 4) obtaining best-practices from new learning practices. Thus, the implementation of LSLC can make the model teacher more responsible for learning plans, implementation of learning and follow-up.
