Abstract

Despite considerable work on teacher reflection and video clubs, there is a scarcity of research examining the nature of teacher reflection or how it might inform teacher learning within video-club settings. Focusing on three student teachers’ (STs’) who manifested different learning paths in a video-club setting during field placement, this study examines their reflection to explore whether or how it could account for these differences. Analyzing STs’ reflections as captured through multiple sources using a specific reflection typology, this study traces each ST’s reflection, documenting differences and similarities between them through cross-case analysis to interpret their differential learning. We discuss these findings by considering the importance of differentiating video-club design by drawing on ongoing analyses of STs’ reflection.
