Lesson Study, Bibliometric Analysis, Teacher Professional Development, Educational Research Trends, Scopus DatabaseAbstract
Introduction: this study aims to identify trends and research opportunities in lesson study development through bibliometric analysis.
Method: the article data were sourced from Scopus over 10 years (2015 to 2024) and analyzed using VOSviewer. A systematic literature review approach with bibliometric analysis was employed.
Results: research articles on lesson study showed fluctuating trends but generally increased, particularly in the last three years. The most productive countries were the United States, followed by the United Kingdom and Indonesia. Eleven clusters were identified, with 73 items related to lesson study. Research trends are associated with mathematics education, teacher development, community of practice, and professional development.
Conclusions: a bibliometric analysis of Lesson Study literature helps researchers align its development with related topics, promoting sustained growth and diversification. Opportunities exist for research related to online lesson study, mentoring, noticing, and secondary education.
