Lesson Study (LS) is a method of both pre-service and in-service teacher education that originates in Eastern countries but has been spread all over the world in the last decades. According to the framework of Cultural Transposition, we believe that introducing LS in cultural contexts that are so far from Eastern ones brings to light the differences between Eastern cultures and other cultures. In particular, the experience of LS can bring to light different cultural beliefs underlying the practice of teaching, and make teachers reflect on them. In this paper we analyse data collected from 5 Italian pre-service teachers after their experience of LS in Italian schools during their internship, concerning in particular their beliefs about the potential and the limits of a rigid or a flexible way of planning and conducting a math lesson.

Abstract
Lesson Study (LS) is a method of both pre-service and in-service teacher education that originates in Eastern countries but has been spread all over the world in the last decades. According to the framework of Cultural Transposition, we believe that introducing LS in cultural contexts that are so far from Eastern ones brings to light the differences between Eastern cultures and other cultures. In particular, the experience of LS can bring to light different cultural beliefs underlying the practice of teaching, and make teachers reflect on them. In this paper we analyse data collected from 5 Italian pre-service teachers after their experience of LS in Italian schools during their internship, concerning in particular their beliefs about the potential and the limits of a rigid or a flexible way of planning and conducting a math lesson.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
