Abstract

The increasing number of lesson studies implemented by the Government, donors, and schools to improve the quality of educational processes and outcomes in Indonesia requires the support of evaluation process that estimate the success level of its implementation. Program evaluation needs to be a complement to the implementation of the lesson study, because it will provide information about the real success level of the program being implemented, as a basis for creating continuous improvement of the implemented program sustainably. This paper highlights an evaluation design for lesson study program based on Thomas Guskey^s model of evaluating professional development. Five-level of evaluation according to Thomas Guskey (participants^ reactions, participants^ learning, organization support and change, participants^ use of knowledge and skills, student learning outcomes) will be elaborated in this paper and applied to evaluation design for lesson study program. The measure, data structure, data collection which are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of the lesson study program will be presented in detail.
