Meaning Cognitive Theory with Lesson Study to Improve the Quality of Learning in Low School

Abstract

This article presents a proposal to improve teaching excellence among elementary school students by using the Lesson Study (LS) approach. LS is a model of professional development of educators originating from Japan. In the LS process, a group of educators systematically reviews the practice of educators with the aim of producing a more effective teaching and learning process. It begins by identifying certain subject units that have problems in the teaching and learning process. Thus, objectives were set to provide the focus and direction of the research. Furthermore, the process of planning, teaching, observing, and evaluating lesson units is carried out. This process is repeated. Finally, a study report is generated and the LS findings are shared with other educators. This LS approach can mobilize pedagogical knowledge and skills among educators. It provides opportunities for educators to collaborate to overcome difficulties encountered in teaching subject units or methodologies. Thus, this approach is expected to provide benefits in improving students' understanding and academic achievement. Proposals regarding the implementation of LS in One of Primary Tamil School Malaysia will be discussed in this article.
