Abstract

Lesson study-based learning is the favourite method to teach teacher candidates of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), so as to enhance their teaching skills. Through research it was found there are obstacles to teaching STEM subjects at schools and to rectify them, some references recommend lesson study (LS) by content representation (CR) with support of a pedagogical and professional experience repertoire (PPER) to solve the problems. This could enhance the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of STEM teacher candidates. To achieve this, STEM teacher candidates would need to undertake an intricate process of teaching practice in classrooms. The aim of this article is to explain the representation of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) in CR and PPER in the lesson study programmes in the subject school internship at the State University of Malang, Indonesia. There are five steps in this model, viz preparation, coaching, guided practices, independent practices and evaluation. © WIETE 2018.
