Teacher quality is the most important factor in enhancing student achievement. In order to achieve the goal, lesson study comprises three main phases of plan, do, and see encourages teachers to do collaborative learning in which they create learning communities to discover, create, and negotiate new meanings to improve their teaching. Teachers at all stages of their careers could learn from one another. They could work together, discuss common teaching issues, share successful strategies, and develop new approaches to share problems. Organizing such networks of teacher in collaborative learning promotes an effective way to share pedagogical and content knowledge.

Considering the importance of both of them, this study aims to know the impact of collaborative learning to teacher performance particularly in SD/MI Al Hikmah Semarang. By involving three model teachers conducting teaching and learning process, and six observers (teachers and lecturers) observing the teacher performance and student activities in the classroom conducted in two cycles, this study shows that collaboration among teachers increased their performance of teaching in which teachers emphasized using active engagement, appropriate learning designs, and application of theories on learning. The majority of teachers agreed that collaborative learning through lesson study helped their performance of teaching.

Abstract

Assessment in teacher education has the primary goal of developing English student teachers as self-monitoring and self-assessing professionals who are able to learn reflectively from their experiences and practices. We need an assessment tool that enhances the capacity of English student teachers for self-assessment and reflection on their levels of developing knowledge and practice.

It allowed students to practice, self-evaluate, and make adjustments or corrections before completing their final work. Several English student teachers noted that the technology gave them the opportunity to be reflective in ways they could not, prior to employing the E-portfolio.
