Abstract

Lesson study introduces entirely new forms of teacher collaborations in a country such as Denmark. In initial approaches the involved teachers, pre-service teachers and teacher educators have generally engaged devoutly. However, as less passionate professionals are introduced to lesson study in schools and teacher education the going gets tougher. Hence we see different fields of tensions emerge, which may constitute serious hindrances to its further sustainability or profoundly influence the ways lesson study is adapted in Denmark. We present a number of these tensions by characterising a Danish teaching culture.
