This study was conducted by qualitative method, and its data, mostly interviews, were collected through the clarification of the lived experiences of the students of educational sciences in their curriculum. Educational science students were exposed with two old and new course experiences as well as the performance of them in the midway.The major findings of this paper showed that the students could not distinguish much differences between the concept of researcher teacher and lesson study. The clarification of students’ lived experiences in different courses by means of research approach also indicated that they have failed to gain a correct and independent understanding of the concepts of researcher teacher and lesson study. When the students' experiences were analyzed, It was found that in practical courses, the most important of which is the internship course that requires both researcher teacher and lesson study as bases, the sufficient skill and knowledge have not been achieved.
