ABSTRACT: Background: This paper introduces lesson study and its development, detailing the existing lesson study system in Chinese universities and some of its problems. Design: Based on the real situation in universities and lesson study theory, a theoretical framework for lesson study is proposed to strengthen the current system. Methods: The framework comprises four stages: pre-class, in-class, after-class, and feedback. Given the diversity of university courses and the relationships between research work, teaching work, and other university work, a simple lesson study group system that includes an administrative group, several academic groups, and a sub-group for each course is introduced here. Results: Students’ grades and academic interests have improved significantly. Conclusion: Lesson study in universities improves students’ learning, teachers’ learning and teaching, and research work.
