Abstract

Lesson study was introduced in Malaysia in 2008 and adopted as part of professional learning communities in 2011. However, sustaining its classroom implementation especially in supporting students with Additional Mathematics remains a challenge. This study evaluates the output level of lesson study for Additional Mathematics based on the perceptions of 247 purposively selected teachers. Descriptive analysis revealed a high output level, with a mean score of 3.75. The findings suggest that lesson study contributes positively to enhancing teachers’ professional practices and skills, ultimately supporting efforts to improve student learning outcomes in the subject.
