From Passive to Active Learning: Lesson Study as a Tool for Change

Despite the widespread promotion of student-centered approaches, passive learning remains common in classroom practice. This article examines Lesson Study as a practical and sustainable tool for shifting from passive to active learning. It explores how research-oriented lesson planning, focus students, pedagogical hypotheses, formative assessment, and descriptive observation make student learning visible and analyzable. The article argues that active learning emerges not from specific methods, but from systematic inquiry into how students engage with tasks and supports.
