This paper presents the partial results of a research project developed over two academic years (2015-16 and 2016-17) in the Faculties of Education and Teacher Training at the Universities of Cantabria and Oviedo. The objective of the project was to improve teaching in several subjects from different curricula in the field of education, based on the analysis of classroom activities. To this end, a methodology inspired by the Lesson Study model was adopted. The results show that students learn through the use of skills which are considered key for teachers. The conclusions demonstrate that the research process has great potential for improving teaching in higher education and highlight the need for students to assume a more active role throughout the whole research process.
