Long-term goals in Japanese Lesson Study may be about behaviour, attitude or
learning. For example, Takahashi and Yoshida (2004) give the example of a
Lesson Study group in the United States wishing “to investigate how to improve
the teaching and learning of measurement” (p. 439), while T. Fujii (personal
communication, August 26, 2010) gave the example of a school whose long-term
goal was to improve children’s curiosity.
