Abstract: This article introduces and illustrates Lesson Design Workshops (LDW), a methodology for theory-practice bridging in education. It shares concerns and characteristics with Action Research, Lesson Studies, Learning Studies, Design-Based Research, and Didactic Dialogue while also having specific features, distinct from and complementary to the other approaches. Distinct for LDW is the use of coproduction between researchers and teachers as a mean for theory-practice bridging and the focus on educational products as anticipated output. Research on didactic modelling and Schön's work on professional knowledge are used to highlight another specificity of LDW, namely that it is focusing on and adjusting the coproduction process to teachers' everyday modelling process while planning and executing teaching.
