How Does Video Analysis Impact Teacher Reflection-for-Action? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783639088144)

Reflective practice is an integral component of a teacher's classroom success. Reflective practice requires a teacher to step back and consider the implications and effects of teaching practices. Research has shown that formal reflection on teaching can lead to improved understanding and practice of pedagogy, classroom management, and professionalism. Several methods have been used over the years to stimulate reflective practice; many of these methods required teachers to use awkward and time-consuming tools with a minimal impact on teaching performance. This book presents an innovative video- enhanced reflection process focused on improving teacher reflection. Video-enhanced reflection is a process that uses video analysis to stimulate reflective thought. The findings presented in this book suggest the video-enhanced reflection process provides solutions to the barriers (i.e., time, tool, support) that have traditionally prevented reflection from being meaningful and long lasting.
