This study is about teacher development (TD). The discussion focuses on two TD models that reach across borders: Jugyokenkyu (Lesson Study) from Japan in the East and Action Research (AR) from America in the West. Both Jugyokenkyu and AR are grassroots teacher mechanisms that allow teachers to research their own classrooms in a bottom-up approach. There needs to be a shift from top-down TD models prescribed by 'outsider' teacher education experts. The study brings into the equation the view that classrooms are complex environments with differing realities that each teacher faces. TD frameworks can no longer be devised in a top-down manner that view classrooms as representing a single reality in order to suit prescriptive development models. The study will describe Jugyokenkyu and AR and show how they empower teachers to meet their particular TD needs. The study will make suggestions on how the models can be integrated.
