Description:
Lesson Study does not have the same meaning as its original Japanese expression Jugyou Kenkyuu --Jugyou meaning instruction or lesson(s) and Kenkyuu meaning study or research. This edited volume discusses how Lesson Study is utilized in Japanese teacher education and in the rest of the world.
Review Quotes:
"The volume should be considered as an important resource in LS research. The book is one of a kind as it focuses on LS implementation in a teacher education setting. The editors should be lauded for providing such a cogent and well-supported argument for best LS implementation. It covers the development of LS beyond its original context, Japan, both conceptually and empirically and provides a grounding and a guide to LS practitioners and researchers in many aspects." - Fikri Yandaa & Saifi Aini, Educational Action Research
