Project Overview
The project positions lesson study or “jugyo-kenkyu”, a teaching improvement process widely practiced in Japan, as a key element that characterizes the style of education in Japan, and seek to diffuse the practice beginning from Thai Japanese Association School in Thailand, capitalizing on close ties with overseas Japanese schools. This approach places overseas Japanese schools as the central node for diffusion in that Japanese teaching staff of the schools will first receive training to be instructors, who will then nurture local instructors in collaboration with local universities.
