After implementing Curriculum Guidelines of 12-Year Basic Education, the number of open classes in elementary and junior high schools has been significantly increased than in the past. As the new curriculum policy requires teachers to have open classes, how to conduct lesson study, including teaching observations and giving feedbacks effectively becomes a significant issue. Although there are many benefits for schools to hold lesson discussions, there are no standardized operation procedures at present. The purpose of this article is to introduce a case of cross-school lesson discussion using Jigsaw to increase interactions among observers and instructor. The procedures of using Jigsaw in lesson discussions are as follows: 1) lesson discussion program explained by host, 2) lesson discussion (groupings and warm up, pairing and sharing within groups, consolidations and inter-group sharing, presentations and teacher's responses), 3) feedbacks and conclusions by host. Using Jigsaw enhances the effectiveness of lesson discussion, by providing instructor and observers a platform to share diverse views and suggestions. Observers can have better understanding on cooperative learning by experiencing it. Teachers can further expand their social network especially in cross-school lesson discussion. In addition, the article also proposes some suggestions for schools to adopt this method effectively in future lesson discussions.
