Abstract

This study combines rehearsal with retrospective video analysis to support mathematics pre-service teachers (PSTs) in learning to teach with technology. PSTs design and rehearse technology-based lessons with peers role-playing as students to simulate classroom interactions. The video-recorded rehearsals are uploaded to Panopto, where presenters and peers tag key moments and exchange feedback in a discussion-forum-style environment. Findings suggest that self-analyzing recorded lessons helps PSTs notice details often missed in the moment, like overlooked learning opportunities or unclear explanations. Paired with structured peer feedback, this process reveals different perspectives that deepen awareness, especially when multiple peers comment on the same video moment. The research offers insights into how rehearsal and video analysis can shape PSTs’ development and inform future teacher preparation.
