ALSI Meeting
Friday, 8 September 2023 18.30-21.00 WIB
ALSI (Asosiasi Lesson Study Indonesia) is an Indonesian Lesson Study academic association organization which
has three divisions, namely the Publications, School Empowerment and Partnership divisions. ALSI is the one
who initiated the ICLS and ICLIm which are held annually. ALSI also collaborates with JICA (Japan International
Cooperation Agency) in many ways, including the STOLS (Short-term Training on Lesson Study) program. The
STOLS program sends Indonesian lecturers, both PTS and PTN, to study LS directly in Japan.
ALSI also cooperates with the Indonesian government in several programs related to sustainably increasing
teacher competency. Among these programs is a program for sending Japanese experts working for the
IMSTEP Program (Indonesian Mathematics and Science Teaching Education Project) to Indonesia in
2004/2005.
After being developed, implemented and disseminated through the JICA technical cooperation program
(SISTTEMS and PELITA). Now lesson study has spread widely in various regions in Indonesia. Apart from that,
lesson study is also disseminated through BERMUTU (Better Education through Reformed Management and
Universal Teacher Upgrading) and the Beginner Teacher Induction Program (PIGP). Lesson study is also used
as a strategy to improve the quality of lectures for prospective teachers at universities (LPTK) through LEDIPSTI
(Lesson Study Dissemination Program for Strengthening Teacher Education in Indonesia). In 2021 LS will be
implemented in schools through the Lecturer Partnership Program (KDS) until 2023.
At this conference, the ALSI meeting was an offline meeting attended by ALSI management to reflect on the
activities of each division and develop a work program for the next year, including discussing the appointment
of the 15th ICLS host in 2024. The discussion was led directly by the President of ALSI, namely Sumar
Hendayana, Ph.D.

Workshop
Saturday, September 9 2023 at 14.30-16.30 WIB
Lesson Study (LS) is a model of continuous teaching professional development. LS begins with a plan, namely
designing lessons that will encourage students to learn in a fun environment so that they can achieve their
goals actively and creatively. Next, do, implement the lesson plans that have been designed as well as make
learning observations. Then reflection on learning (see), is a discussion between the teacher and the observer
to discuss the learning process. Recommendations from the reflection discussion are used to improve the
quality of subsequent learning (redesign). At this time there are still many teachers who do not understand
the principles of LS as a form of continuing teacher professionalism development, forming teachers into
reflective educators and continuing to strive to improve skills in planning and implementing learning well. So
that LS workshops are still needed for teachers so that they can be implemented in their respective schools
within the MGMP and MGMPS communities. The material provided includes LS principles, skills in preparing
lesson plans, observation and reflection skills. The resource persons in this workshop are LS experts who have
experience in assisting LS in schools. In addition, this LS resource person has attended an LS short course in
Japan in STOLS (Short-term Training on Lesson Study) activities and is an administrator for ALSI (Indonesian
Lesson Study Association). The resource person is Dr Nur Fauziyah, M.Pd., Dr Slamet Asari, M.Pd. and Ulfatul
Ma'rifah, M.Pd. from Muhammadiyah Gresik University.

competence and professional competence. Each competency is described for each level accompanied by clear
indicators. To increase the level of competency possessed, teachers carry out various professional development
activities. One way is to do lesson study (LS). Along with the changes in the curriculum from the 2013
Curriculum to the Independent Curriculum, teachers continue to strive to improve their competence so that
they can provide the best for their students.

are classified as old buildings that have the potential to become Cultural Heritage Buildings because of the age
of the buildings which are more than 50 years old (the average is between 50-100 years since they were built
in 1909 AD), the unique architecture, and the history behind them. European architectural style can be seen
in the pillars supporting the roof, relatively large windows and doors, as well as ornaments on the
walls/pilasters. Meanwhile, the Chinese architectural style can be seen on the roof and the use of all-red
colours.
