Sumario:<p id="p1">The aim of the study has been to investigate the researcher&rsquo;s role in an intervention study using Lesson Study as a mediating artifact for teachers&rsquo; professional development. The research question addressed in this article is: &ldquo;How can the researcher act and react to the challenges that emerge when enhancing the development of practice and still allow teachers to own and manage the project&rdquo;? An argument for this study is that there are several studies that point out that the researcher&rsquo;s role in intervention research in which teachers and researchers cooperate are of great importance. At the same time, little research describes the researcher&rsquo;s role and function during a research project. This article describes and explores the researcher&rsquo;s role in facing challenges in a practice-oriented intervention during the study. This study lasted for a period of two years. To answer the research question, I have used several data sources to get a holistic picture of the researcher role. Data sources consist of interviews, teacher&rsquo;s reflection notes, research log and observations. This study verifies that the researcher&rsquo;s role and approach are of crucial importance for change and development.</p>
