| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research explored the processes in which jugyo-kenkyu, a form of collaborative teacher professional development originated in Japan and known as Lesson Study, has expanded and circulated globally. Drawing on comprehensive discourse analysis and case studies in Indonesia, Philippines, US, and Switzerland, the following three questions were unpacked: (a) when, by whom, and why lesson study was circulated across national borders?, (b) in what circumstance and what aspect of lesson study was borrowed?, (c) What changes occurred in Japanese discourse on jugyo-kenkyu after the expansion and circulation? The main findings of this research are, firstly, the nature of Japanese discourse on jugyo-kenkyu evolved before, during, and after global expansion of lesson study. Secondly, this research unveils the fact that lesson study functioned as a catalyst for cross-cultural interaction among teachers and education researchers, which enhanced the innovative lesson study practices.
