Regular Mathematics Education 2009 (NIM. 09301241032)
Most of us know how to learn mathematics in school is going. There are students and a teacher who explain all of the material. Looks like a simple thing, but actually the teachers need some competence to make the learning activity better. One of the four competent that matter to teacher is professionalism. What is professionalism as a teacher? It means that a teacher has to understand all of the material of the learning activity, especially in this case mathematics subject. Moreover, the teacher has to have knowledge in characteristic of the students due to the better learning; also the teacher has to understand which teaching methods that fit with each material. To develop this competence there are some ways that can be used. Lesson study is one of them.
Lesson study is some kind of cooperation scheme among teachers (mutual subject) to improve their own learning skills altogether by having some research and reflection systematically. The purpose of lesson study is to develop teacher’s service to students. So, it can be said that he basic concept of lesson study is cooperation of some teacher or lecturer to observe, investigate, and reflect the learning activities.
How can lesson study improve teacher’s skills? It’s because teachers need innovation. Innovation can make the learning more effective and efficient. There are few things that can be the point of this lesson study. Those are student centre, constructivist approach, realistic approach, contextual teaching learning. Moreover, there are also few things can might be our concern because they can support the success of lesson study. The teachers must be open minded, let other people opinion come to them. Lesson study is about observing and reflecting all the things about the learning activity. So, at the end each teacher can share their ideas about how the learning activity should be going.
Then, how to run a lesson study? Just 3 basic step actually. That is plan, do, and see. ‘Plan’ : in this step teachers planning their schedule, lesson plan, work sheet, and all the things that matter in learning activity. And the second step, ‘do’: the teachers model’s doing the learning activity while the other teacher obverse it. Then the third step is ‘see’: in this step the result of the observation will be reflected, usually lead by MGMP chairman. In this third step all the teacher, including the model teacher can reflect their learning activity, share about how’s the learning’s going, is there any constraint or problem while leading the class and many other things. And the other teacher can share their critics and suggestion.
