  In Roundtable Session: Understanding and Training Preservice Teachers in Classroom Management

Abstract

This study explores the development of preservice teachers’ (PST) quality and structure of interpersonal knowledge and knowledge application after an intervention watching 360-degree videos combined with theoretical lectures in teacher education. To study knowledge (structure) development, PSTs’ concept maps were analyzed using social network analysis, which included comparison with expert concept maps and measuring structural and conceptual relevance. The application of PSTs’ knowledge was measured using teacher behavior vignettes and also compared to vignettes of experts. Results showed more organized concept maps including more relevant concepts after the intervention. Furthermore, PSTs’ reactions on vignettes were closer to those of experts in situations with a high level of interpersonal teacher control.
