A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF LESSON STUDY: TRACKING BETWEEN THE YEARS 2012 AND 2023
Abstract
Abstract. Several studies have mentioned the effectiveness of Lesson Study (LS) on learning process. However, bibliometric governing LS is scarce. This study aims to provide a bibliometric view of LS research that develops from 2012-2023. A total of 683 articles were collected through the Scopus database. The visualization results showed that there were 27 research themes distributed in 8 clusters. From these results, it was found that LS research trends in 2012-2016 focused on improving learning through action research, problem-solving, phenomenography, teacher development, school reform, and professional learning. In 2017-2020, LS research focused on case studies, sustainability, learning environment, teacher knowledge, initial teacher education, teacher education, collaboration, critical thinking, leadership, primary school, teacher professional development. Meanwhile, in 2021-2023, LS research focuses on online lesson study, higher education, communication, inclusive education, and teacher beliefs. Bibliometric analysis and visualization revealed that from 2012-2023 the trend of LS research is growing along with the increasing results of publications and citations. This study also illustrates publication opportunities in various countries that have a high interest in LS research. Therefore, this finding is expected to be a reference for further LS research.
