Lesson Study Papers
From APEC HRDWG Wiki
APEC's Education Network (EDNET) is conducting a project, called Classroom Innovations Through Lesson Study, which explores the use of Lesson Study in Mathematics Education. In conjunction with this project, papers have been complied from leading academics specializing in Lesson Study; intended to aid in the development and use of Lesson Study in the APEC Ecnomomies.

|
| continuing professional development of teachers has been strongly advocated in Hong Kong, and one of the means for professional development of the teachers is through lesson study, where teachers of the same school work together to study their own lessons for the improvement of classroom teaching. In this paper, an example of a lesson study in Hong Kong in the subject area of mathematics will be reported.
