The Relationship

Education plays an important role in the development of a nation. Teachers, the main implementer of curriculum at school are subjected to numerous approaches and strategies which have been proven to bring about positive and significant change in students’ academic performance. However, the success of these programs depends on the positive perception of these programs. This study aims to identify how lesson study relates to professional learning community practice in the school. A total of 98 teachers selected via purposive sampling from low performing schools in Sabah. Two scales were adapted from past studies to measure the respondents’ perception about professional learning community and lesson study practices. Data from the questionnaire was analyzed with IBM SPSS 23.0. Findings showed that teachers perceived both professional learning community and lesson study practices highly. Lesson study and professional learning community showed significant positive and strong relationship. This study implied that teachers in low performing school are receptive of these practices and such attitude may contribute to the success of the SISC+ program in these schools. Findings from this study help policy makers and practitioners to plan strategically on the implementation of these practices in schools.

Agenda KPM ini adalah agar guru secara berterusan melengkapkan dan dilengkapi dengan ciri-ciri pendidik professional abad ke-21. Amalan PLC dalam kalangan guru matematik di Malaysia amat memerlukan anjakan agresif. Oleh itu artikel ini menjalankan kajian sorotan literatur bersistematik terhadap amalan PLC dalam kalangan guru matematik diperingkat global. Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk meninjau amalan PLC di seluruh dunia dan strategi atau elemen yang digunakan. Strategi atau elemen yang merujuk kepada aktiviti PLC yang dilaksanakan dikategorikan kepada Bengkel dan Kursus, Perkongsian dan Perbincangan Dalam Komuniti, Kumpulan Lesson Study dan Kumpulan Penyelidikan. Melalui empat fasa pemilihan berpandukan Penyata PRISMA, 143 artikel berjaya dipilih pada fasa pertama. Carian artikel menggunakan kata kunci “Professional Learning Community” dan “Mathematics Teacher” dilakukan melalui pengkalan data utama Scopus dan Eric. Enam kriteria pemilihan berserta pengecualian telah memilih 30 artikel untuk disintesis pada fasa kelayakan. Dapatan analisis ini mengenalpasti 15 negara yang terlibat dan Amerika Syarikat telah mendahului dalam kajian PLC melibatkan guru matematik. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa amalan PLC pesat dijalankan dengan pelbagai strategi yang boleh dijadikan rujukan komuniti guru di Malaysia khususnya. Mendepani sistem pendidikan semasa pandemik Covid-19, perlaksanaan PLC berstruktur dan berterusan perlu difikirkan.
