English This paper addresses the issue of understanding the dynamics between the participants of a collaborative setting like lesson study (LS) in an initial teacher education program. The case study presented is a LS course held for prospective mathematics teachers at secondary level at Lausanne University of teacher education, in Switzerland. The changes in the didactical contract and in the
postures of both the educator and the preservice teachers are analysed using qualitative methods. Results show a gradual change in the group dynamics through the process, and the progressive reinforcement of clauses of the didactical contract that are characteristics to LS.
