Introduction Mostofo and Zambo (2015) chose Vygotsky's space as the theoretical framework for this project. Vygotsky space framework represents what is intended for this specific research. Vygotsky’s space has four cyclical phases that illustrate how interactions between group and independent functions and between public and private surroundings relate to learning. These four
phases are The acquisition of a particular way of thinking by an individual through integration with others' personal responsibility. The transformation of thinking in relation to an individual's work, the communication of new knowledge through language and action, and the process by which these public acts in one's own practice become conventionalized in the work of others.
A person's adoption of a specific way of thinking as a result of social integration. Individual accountability. thinking differently within the framework of one's own work, publishing new information through words and deeds, and the method by which these public acts from one's own
practice are normalized in other people's work
To become a better research practitioner, Mostofo's goal for this particular project was to include the use of utilizing a Japanese lesson study, to examine if "doing" math instruction, as opposed to just watching, could provide these preservice teachers with additional knowledge. Mostofo’s main goal was to become a better practitioner-researcher, (Mostofo & Zambo, 2015).
The results of research projects hold significance for stakeholders. The main parties involved in Mostofo’s eyes, other than himself, were his students and the public education system. Strengthening their capabilities and self-assurance was the objective of his pupils. Teachers better equipped for the classroom could be beneficial to the public education system. Stakeholders are vital to my AIP as they aid by displaying interest in the results, providing a

means of reaching participants and collecting and analyzing data. In all instances, stakeholders are essential.
Methodology
The Methodology consists of the setting, participants, data sources, as well as data analysis.
The setting consisted of face-to-face class meetings with pre-service teachers, who attended 65 minutes of instruction over the course of 16 weeks. The teachers were required to participate in field experience for up to 15 hours. The designated teachers were to explain the lesson study approach. Six participants, split into two groups, actively engaged in the lesson study approach, by planning their lessons together, instructing participants one by one in both methods and field experience classrooms, as well as taking part in surveys, interviews, and weekly reflections, (Mostofo & Zamba, 2015). The lesson study was broken up into two different
phases. The first phase consisted of practice teaching in the method’s classroom followed by moving to the field experience class. During the teaching phase at least two times, teachers were able to work together on a lesson plan as well as a math plan. The plans included sample problems and handouts.
After one team member presented the lesson to the class, there was a debriefing with a self-reflection. After the lesson wrapped up, there
was a class discussion with questions, comments, and ideas from the preservice teacher who had actually taught the lesson. To prepare preservice teachers for teaching, a second phase was conducted. While their colleagues watched and recorded the lecture on video, the preservice teacher conducted at least one class hour. In addition to a second debriefing session, the video footage was watched in class.
