Abstract

The 2013 National Education Curriculum requires students to be the center of teaching and learning process in the classroom. Having Student Centered Learning (SCL) as the teaching approach, the implementation of the curriculum implies that students should be involved actively during the transfer of the knowledge in the classroom. In addition, students’ engagement during the learning process is paramount, and the teachers are supposed to be the students’ facilitators of learning. However, the phenomenon in which Student-Centered Learning gained less attention which affects students less interests in attending the lesson are commonly found in many Indonesian schools, including in an Islamic secondary school. This situation finally affects their learning in the classroom, and consequently they cannot get the most benefit of their study. This study is an attempt to investigate student learning in the classroom using collaborative teacher professional development called lesson study. Underpinned by qualitative research design, the study employed ten secondary teachers who collaboratively conducted ‘research lessons’ in which a model teacher delivered the lesson in the classroom and other colleagues observed the student learning. The data obtained from teacher observation and student evaluation revealed positive indicators of student learning during the teaching and learning process. Thus, despite lesson study is regarded as an initial professional learning activity for the teachers, it is worth to maintain its sustainability in this Islamic secondary school.
