Lesson study (LS) is flourishing worldwide and is currently being practiced in over 40 countries (Yoshida et al., 2021a). Originally from Japan, LS has established itself as an approach to teachers’ continued professional development (PD) in countries such as the United States of America and Singapore. In fact, Dudley claimed in 2014 that “LS is the world’s fastest growing approach to teacher learning, and to develop teaching” (p. 4). LS networks in the UK (e.g. Dudley et al., 2019) and the Netherlands (e.g. Vries and Prenger, 2017) prove that LS has arrived in Europe as well.
The purpose of this paper is to systematically review the history and current state of lesson study (LS) in Germany. In particular, this paper describes the development of LS over time and its stakeholders.
