There is growing worldwide interest in Japanese Lesson Study as a model for professional learning, with large-scale adaptations of lesson study taking place in many countries. This paper describes how teachers and researchers collaborated in a lesson study project4 carried out in three Victorian schools. It describes Japanese Lesson Study and the typical structured problem solving research lesson that forms the basis for lesson study; and discusses how the collaborative planning process and the resulting research lessons, together with the post-lesson discussions, provided teachers and researchers with the opportunity to collaborate in the research process.Publication classification
