In this paper, we argue that there are potential advantages of integrating Lesson Study in pre-service teacher education as compared to the conventional model of pre-service teacher education. The paper will first describe the two key features of Lesson Study and theorize how these features can help to enhance pre-service teachers’ pedagogical and content knowledge, as evidenced in our earlier research studies that integrated lesson study into pre-service teacher education during their teaching method courses. This paper ends with a proposed model of integrating Lesson Study into pre-service teacher education, particularly during teaching practices.
