Evolving Implementation of Lesson Study in Malaysia
Lesson Study in Malaysia has evolved through different stages, from its introduction via collaboration with Australia to becoming a national project conducted in low-performing schools. The APEC-Tsukuba Project played a crucial role in promoting Lesson Study in Malaysia, particularly through partnerships with educational institutions like Universiti Sains Malaysia and RECSAM. The continued efforts aim to enhance teacher development and enhance science and mathematics education through in-service training and research initiatives.

Background Lesson Study originated as a Japanese model for teacher development Lesson Study first introduced not directly from Japan but through collaboration with researchers from Australia Early reports of LS in Malaysia in research studies (2003 2005)
Second Stage of LS in Malaysia Second stage of LS in Malaysia was through the APEC Tsukuba Lesson Study Project (2007 2011) Dissemination of LS during this stage mainly through the networks of two educational institutions: Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) and the Regional Centre for Education in Science and Mathematics (RECSAM)
Third Stage of LS in Malaysia Adoption of LS as a national project LS conducted in 289 low-performing schools Part of the School Improvement Project under the Education NKRA (National Key Result Area, Government Transformation Program) Involvement of the States and District educational offices Dynamic monitoring system through site visits and on-line reporting
Popularising Lesson Study in RECSAMs Programs RECSAM serves as a regional centre in Southeast Asia for the promotion and enhancement of science and mathematics Programs focused on two major areas: in-service teacher training and research One 4-week course on Lesson Study every year in its 2011 -2015 5-year plan Conducts research on Lesson Study with its partner schools
Lesson Study Research in RECSAM In 2008, Lesson Study was conducted in 6 six primary schools in mathematics In 2010, Lesson Study was conducted in 3 primary schools in mathematics In 2011, Lesson Study was conducted in 3 primary and 3 secondary schools in science
Implementation Plan for APEC-Tsukuba Project To select one secondary RECSAM partner school Conduct one day workshop with school teachers to discuss the plan Conduct at least one cycle of Lesson Study in one LS group in one high performing school Plan/develop lesson plan together with teachers Conduct research lesson Discuss the results of the research lesson
