Abstract
In the Republic of Zambia, Lesson Study Support Project was started by JICA technical cooperation in 2005. The Lesson Study contributed to disseminate methodology of Lesson Study to stakeholders. However, teachers feel compulsion toward Lesson Study because of governmental directive. Therefore, quality of Lesson Study has been still low in Zambia. Baba & Nakai (2009) have pointed out necessity of accumulation for lesson practice through Lesson Study. Therefore, it is time for examining the quality of the Lesson Study report for five years. In this study, author focused on the Lesson study report called research bulletin. Research bulletin is one of the deliverables on Lesson Study. Through analyzing its contents, I clarified current problems of Zambian Lesson Study. Through the result of analysis, it was clarified that it is important for research bulletin to writing process than deliverable. Zambian research bulletin on Lesson Study was only information of Lesson Study implementation. Especially it is serious that conscious mind of teachers is intractable through Lesson Study. Moreover, submitting research bulletin is purpose of Lesson Study in itself. Therefore, it is necessity to develop the system that the education board evaluates the research bulletin of each school.
