Abstract :The aim of this study was to explore challenges in implementing the lesson study model in teaching practice course and to discuss solutions, providing insights into addressing these issues. Lesson study is a Japanese form of professional development that allows teachers to plan and examine lessons collaboratively. In this study, case study was selected as a research method. The study group consisted of six preservice teachers in their final year and taking the teaching practice course. The study process took 10 weeks and the lesson study groups met three times a week. As data collection tools, classroom observations, voice recordings and interviews were used. The obtained data were analyzed by content analysis method. When the findings were examined, having six preservice teachers in one group caused some problems. It is recommended to reduce the participant numbers in each group for future lesson study implementations.
