Lesson Study is a vehicle of the improved quality of learning that comes from the land of anime, Japan. Lesson Study in Japan to develop since the early 1990s. Through this activity, teachers in Japan assess learning through planning and observation with the aim to motivate students to learn active self. Lesson Study is a direct translation from Japanese language "jugyokenkyu", which is a combination of two words namely jugyo meaning or lesson learned, and that means kenkyu study or research or the review. Thus, Lesson Study is a study or research or the review of learning. Lesson Study defined as a model professional development of teachers through the collaborative learning and development based on principles legalities and mutual learning to build a learning community.

Lesson Study in the distribution of the world started in 1995 by the background The Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), which was followed by forty-one countries and twenty-one of them get the average score in mathematics is significantly higher than the United States. Position to make the United States to study mathematics in the appeal of Japanese and German. Appeal of the study team is aware that the United States United States does not have a system to make quality learning, while Japan and Germany do to improve the quality of the development. Further education experts from the United States learn about the Japanese Lesson Study, and then developed in several other countries.

The implementation of Lesson Study focused teachers in collaborative activities with fellow teachers in preparing the design of learning, the implementation of learning, and evaluate learning that has been in progress. Three events in the Lesson Study is known as the Plan (plan), stage I (carry), and the See (reflection) is sustainable. In other words Lesson Study is a way of improving education never ends (continuous improvement). In this case teachers who practice the Lesson Study, in collaboration with fellow teachers in learning to set goals that will be implemented based on the curriculum demands.

Lesson Study activities starting from the planning stage (Plan) which aims to design learning that can learn students and is based on the students, this is done to encourage students to actively engage in the learning process. Planning is not done alone but is done together, in other words some teachers can do to enrich collaboration ideas. Collaboration is not only can be done by a fellow teacher in the school field study, but the collaboration can also be done with several groups of teachers in the teaching profession as a MGMP or with the collaboration between teacher or lecturer collaboration among faculty with lecturers. Thus kolegalitas form between teachers with teachers, teachers with teachers, lecturers with the lecturers, so that through the meeting in the framework of Lesson Study activities they can share experiences and form mutual learning (mutual learning).

Planning process in the beginning of Lesson Study analysis of the problems faced in the learning process. Problems can be a field of study materials, how to explain a concept, and can also be about the pedagogical method of learning the correct order of learning more effective and efficient facilities or problems about how strategic lack of learning facilities.
The second step in the implementation of Lesson Study is a learning process (Do) as the implementation of the draft has been formulated in the planning. In the planning of teachers who agreed to be the learning and the teachers who will act as observers (Observer) of learning. In this case the principal can be involved in observation and learning activities as a guide.

Before learning begins briefing should be done to the observers to inform the learning activities planned by a teacher and the learning takes place during the observer does not interfere with the activity of learning but the students during learning activities. Learning takes place during the observer can not be talking with a fellow observer. The existence of the observer in the classroom in addition to collecting information but also to learn from the learning process is in progress and not to evaluate teachers. The focus is on the observed student interaction with students, students with teaching materials, students with teachers, students and the environment associated with the four teachers' competency in accordance with Law No. 14 of the teachers and lecturers.

Step three in the Lesson Study is a reflection (See). Once you've finished learning direct discussions conducted between the teacher and the observer is guided by the principal or designated personnel to discuss the learning process. Teacher initiated discussion with the effects of implementing learning, then the observer comments and learning from the lesson learned, especially regarding the activities of students. Instead, teachers must be able to receive input from the observers for the improvement of the next. Based on input from this discussion can be re-designed learning next.

View from the stages in the Lesson Study have a few activities that are similar to the Lesson Study activities that often do teachers and lecturers in the collaborative classroom action research and by groups of teachers is a particular field of study. When viewed at a glance, the activity is almost similar to the Lesson Study, but there are several things that distinguish Lesson Study with Classroom Action Research and the activities in institution like groups of teachers is a particular.
