  Beth midrash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beth Midrash (or Beis Midrash or Beit Midrash, Hebrew בית מדרש) (plural batei or botei midrash) literally means a "House [of] Interpretation" or "House [of] Lecturing" or "House [of] Learning" in Hebrew.
In the times of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), and the Mishna, most Torah study probably took place in the Beth din (Rabbinical court), where religious law was deliberated as part of the judicial process.
While a beth midrash generally serves a community, it is also the physical abode of a yeshiva (college of higher Jewish study) and kollel (Torah study institute for married men).

 IBRI Research Report #13 - THE COUNCIL OF JAMNIA AND THE OLD TESTAMENT CANON   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
He (the rebellious elder) was executed neither by his local Beth Din (i.e., court or Sanhedrin) nor by the Beth Din at Jabneh, but was taken to the Great Beth Din in Jerusalem and kept there until the (next) festival, and executed thereon.
Probably a school (Beth ha-Midrash) in prolonged contact with its students is more likely to produce such memories than a combination court and legislature such as the Beth Din.
Afterwards this became the Great Beth Din and remained so, with perhaps one interruption, until about A.D. Likewise the Beth ha-Midrash probably predates A.D. 70 and continues after 135, but it would not be surprising that its golden years coincide with the presence of the Great Beth Din.

 Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah | Christian Classics Ethereal Library
PUTTING aside, as quite untenable, the idea of a regular Beth ha-Midrash in the Temple (though advocated even by Wünche), we have to inquire whether any historical evidence can be adduced for the existence of a Synagogue within the bounds of the Temple-buildings.
It is indeed easy to understand that Rabbinism and later Judaism should have wished to locate a Synagogue and a Beth ha-Midrash within the sacred precincts of the Temple itself.
But it is difficult to account for the circumstance that such Christian scholars as Reland, Carpzov, and Lightfoot should have been content to repeat the statement without subjecting its grounds to personal examination.
