Lesson Study for VET - Teachers’ collaboration for Improving the Quality of Vocational Education and Training
Teacher collaboration plays a vital role in various elements of teachers’ work and was found to have a positive impact on teaching quality and student performance. Lesson Study is a particularly promising model of teachers’ professional development based on professional teacher collaboration and focusing on the improvement of student learning through improving teachers’ methodological skills. The method, however has only sporadically and not systematically been applied in VET before. In this project, Lesson Study will be systematically applied in VET contexts, which is expected to bring about innovative development in both domains.
