However, there has not been much assistance in the community of teacher learning and collaboration that should lead to new approaches to increase classroom learning quality. This study aimed to explain how the process of assessing and the implementation LSLC at SMA Negeri 4 Malang. This qualitative descriptive study uses teachers and lecturers as research subjects with an unspecified amount in their participation. The data was obtained by using a monitoring checklist, interview, and documentation of the implementation lesson study. The results showed that the application of LSLC was running well, but at the 'Do' phase, there were still observers who worked not following their assignment procedures, and the involvement of teachers in LSLC activities even less. Therefore, it is suggested to implement LSLC which improve collegial participation of teachers and lecturers. This is an open access article under the CC-BY-SA license.

Sustainability of Lesson Study on The Lesson Study for Learning Community (LSLC) Program in Batu City East Java Province

“…Thru the LSLC program, the students will study together with the teachers who work professionally and develop the learning models (Hakim, 2017;Herliani & Masitah, 2018;Rejeki et al, 2018;Saito & Atencio, 2015;Setyawan et al, 2019;Yono et al, 2019). However, through the LSLC, the responsibility for students' education is not only delegated to the teachers in schools, but also involve the parents and other stakeholders in the development of education in schools (Rahardjanto et al, 2019).…”

“…Suratno et al, 2020;T. Suratno et al, 2019;Yuniar et al, 2020), process of assessing and the implementation LSLC (Setyawan et al, 2019), and ideas about the importance of networking (Nurwidodo et al, 2018).

Lesson Study in Schools Components Perception: The Challenge of Transforming Teaching and Learning

“…These efforts have been carried out intensively, but often are not in line with learning expectations. Various research results on improving the quality of learning and the professional community through Lesson Study for Learning Community (LSLC) practices report good results in various regions in Indonesia (Latifa, 2019;Lukitasari, Susilo, & Corebima, 2014;Nurwidodo et al, 2018;Setyawan, Permana, & Latifa, 2019;R. E. Susetyarini, Permana, Gunarta, & Setyawan, 2019).…”

“…This information is very important for schools that are just starting LSLC practices and mentoring institutions. Based on the results of previous studies show that many schools implement LSLC, but the involvement of all school components is still not optimal (Setyawan et al, 2019). This certainly gives a signal that problems and causal factors must exist, starting from the process, management, and policy makers.…”

“…Although LSLC in Malang and Batu cites developed well through the mentoring efforts of higher education institutions (Hindun et al, 2018;Setyawan et al, 2019)., efforts are still needed to familiarize Lesson study activities by school principals, teachers, staff, and students to get an overview of lesson study activities, reporting activities, and monitoring through data to be more measurable and sustainable. Furthermore, this research is important to be done to provide an explanation of the perceptions of principals, teachers, staff, and students in implementing Lesson Study Learning Community in schools.…”
