Abstract

Being independent in learning or usually be called as having self-directed learning ability is important to determine the success of study in higher education. However, based on the observation in the previous academic semester, it was found that the students in mathematics education study program tend to wait their lecturers to inform the knowledge without any effort to learn independently. Therefore, the present study aimed to develop the students' self-directed learning skill through the implementation of lesson study. The steps applied are Plan, Do and See repeated in three cycles. The subject of the study was 20 third year-students of mathematics education study program who took of Capita Selecta in Mathematics course. Data were gathered using observation technique and analyzed qualitatively using descriptive method to gain the relationship between the quality of learning process and students' self-directed learning. The study revealed that lesson study in Capita Selecta in Mathematics was able to enhance students' self-directed learning. It can be seen from the students' awareness to learn the upcoming study materials and contribute in discussion with lecturer and their peers.
