Key Points

Investigate how collaborative Lesson Study impacts professional growth and pedagogical content knowledge development among beginning and experienced high school teachers.
Qualitative multiple case study examining two high school teacher teams (one chemistry and one multidisciplinary), each consisting of one beginning and one experienced teacher.
Teams completed two cycles of Lesson Study, progressing through collaborative lesson design, classroom enactment, and post-lesson reflection.
Data gathered through semi-structured interviews, reflective journals, and session recordings, analyzed using the Extended Interconnected Model for Professional Growth.
Lesson Study participation facilitated the development of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) for both beginning and experienced teachers.
Professional growth relied on a two-phase cycle: a development phase dedicated to exploring pedagogies and drafting plans, followed by an enactment phase focused on observing students and revising lessons.
