Adopting Lesson Study on Job Training in Japan to the Program of School Field Introduction in Indonesia
Abstract
Lesson study is applied as a method to improve the teaching skills of prospective teacher-students when teaching practice in schools. Indonesia uses the term School Field Introduction (PLP) for practical teaching activities in schools, while in Japan the term On Job Training (OTJ) is used. This study examines the differences in lesson study methods that are practiced in universities in Indonesia and Japan, then adapts the lesson study method OTJ in Japan, to apply in the PLP II course at Biology Education, UIN Jakarta. The research method was carried out by direct and indirect observation. Indirect observation is through the YouTube channel of lesson study practices on PLP II at one of the universities in Indonesia. Direct observation and in-depth interviews were conducted with OTJ at the Affiliated Toyama University Junior High School in Japan. The adaptation of the Japanese OTJ was carried out in two stages. The first was carried out in two schools in Jakarta and Depok, involving two teachers and eight students. The second was conducted in one school in Depok, involving one teacher and four students. The results of the study show differences between lesson study have developed in Indonesia and Japan. OTJ in Japan emphasizes collaboration and cooperation among prospective teacher-students in improving teaching skills. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, the emphasis is on collegiality among PLP students, tutor teachers, and supervisor lecturers. Applying the Japanese OTJ to PLP II in Biology Education showed that this method can increase student confidence, improve creativity in teaching methods and media, make worksheets, improve classroom management, and improve teaching skills.
