Cognitive Description of Students in Mathematics Learning through Lesson Study

Abstract

This research aimed at describing the students’ cognit ive aspects in mathematics learning. The description of the students’ cognit ive aspects in mathemat ics learning provided understanding to the lecturers as the preparation in planning the mathematics learning to support the maximum achievement of the students during the learning. In the first step, plan was the first activity with the Lesson Study team to discuss various preparations needed.
