A systematic review on the effect of lesson study on entrepreneurial competencies of foreign language teachers

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze literature research on the lesson study model of English teachers and their entrepreneurship competencies. So, systematic review approach was used in the study. The systematic research was conducted in Web of Science and Scopus databases, covering studies between 2019 and 2024. The systematic review procedure of the study is guided by the PRISMA flow diagram. The analysis examined data from 17 papers that satisfied the specified criteria for inclusion in this study. Within the parameters of the initial research inquiry, we identified patterns in study of lesson study and competences related to entrepreneurship. It can be asserted that lesson study, which converts teachers' practical knowledge into professional knowledge during their professional service processes, enhances their professional skills, and empowers them to teach in alignment with future demands, can also contribute to the long-term development of entrepreneurial competencies in teachers' professional lives, as its cyclical process evolves into professional learning.
