Academic articles
There are many academic articles published every year relating to Lesson study, Learning study and Collaborative Lesson Research.
The list here is by no means exhaustive. A good place to start is the International Journal for Lesson and Learning Studies the journal of the World Association of Lesson Studies (www.walsnet.org ). Membership of WALS gives access to the journal for a year and is recommended as the journal publishes many excellent articles. Other education journals provide additional insight often with a particular focus such as teacher professional learning, participatory action research and so on.
Here we provide a bibliography of some articles you may find useful:
