Music and Arts Teacher Learning Through Classroom Video: Outlining Future Research Agendas

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Music and arts teacher educators commonly ask pre- and in-service teachers to record, view, analyze, and/or discuss video of teaching practices. However, a recent large-scale international literature review found scant empirical evidence about how classroom video usage fosters teacher learning. Researchers have therefore been urged to investigate ways to maximize the effectiveness of video-mediated peer observation in the arts and music domain. In response, this symposium brings together research on videoconferencing technology, video analysis for reflection and assessment, and digital teacher mentoring in music/arts education. A discussant will connect the findings and facilitate a large-group discussion. The goal is to outline strategic agendas for continued research focusing on classroom video as a tool for music/arts teacher education and professional development.
