The spirit of implementing the curriculum 2013 got a rave and new enthusiasm with the implementation of the Lesson Study for Learning Community (LSLC) Assistance Program by the University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) to several junior high schools in Malang. This program synergized with professional development, internal quality assurance and strengthening learning innovations in schools in order to respond to the challenges of 21st-century learning.
LSLC assistance was a program that was trained by Dra. Ninik Purwaning Setyarini, M.A, Head of Sub Directorate of Curriculum of the Directorate of PSMP Ministry of Education and Culture Republic of Indonesia and a work team from the directorate staff and 24 STOLS Japan alumni lecturers from various universities. Through the program, 68 biggest junior high schools in 8 Zones (Padang, Bengkulu, Bogor, Jogja, Gresik, Malang, Kediri and Lombok) would begin workshops, open plans, open classes and reflection on learning starting in November 2019.
The spirit of promoting Lesson Study (LS) which had developed into Lesson Study for Learning Community was driven by the government's desire to develop a culture of learning independently of both teachers and students. "Meanwhile, the growth and development of an independent learning culture is the character and competence needed to navigate and win life in the increasingly disruptive 21st century," said Drs. Nurwidodo, M. Kes., Person in charge of LSLC.
