Abstract

. This study aims to analyze the pedagogical competence in pre-service biology teacher. pre-service biology teacher is usually trained to manage the learning process through micro-teaching activities. learning exercises through micro-teaching are important to help train the pedagogical competence in pre-service biology teacher. One way that micro-teaching can develop the pedagogical competency in pre-service biology teacher to the maximum is by integrating it with the lesson study. This study uses action research. Lesson Study research was carried out in 2 cycles in three stages each cycle, namely Plan (development of lesson plans, media and teaching materials), Do (implementation of lesson study) and See (continuous reflection.). The results of the study can be concluded that the pedagogical competency in pre-service biology teacher through lesson study has increased in the moderate category. In the indicator of the ability to plan and the ability to carry out learning there is an increase from the level of partial competence to competence, and the ability to evaluate there is an increase from needing to improve to being competent. This explains that the implementation of lesson study has a positive impact on improving the pedagogical ability and professionalism in pre-service biology teacher at FKIP, Kuningan University.
