Promoting Reflective Practice in Teacher Education: Technology-Enhanced Case-Based Instruction

• In Event: TED - Building Teacher Reflective Practice through Technology

Short Description

This presentation reports on the use of technology-enhanced case-based instruction to facilitate pre-service teachers’ reflective practice. Findings indicate that the instructor utilized five different strategies to encourage reflective practice while presenting case materials, including classroom videos. It is also revealed that pre-service teachers often refused to reflect on the case teachers’ practice. Recommendations will be made for teacher educators and educational technology researchers on how to create and use technology-enhanced cases for meaningful reflective practice.
