Reflective Competence Development in Teacher Education: Becoming Professional Through Collaborative Podcasting

• In Event: Demonstrating Pedagogical Promise: Embracing the Challenge of Enacting Equity Practices and Pedagogies

Abstract

This paper focuses on the concept of reflective competence development in teacher education, which comprises the aim to promote professional competence during teacher education. In a university didactical learning setting with collaborative podcasting, it is evaluated to what extent this can promote professional vision and change beliefs through linking them to willingness to reflect. We present results of a study in a pre-post control group design (NEG = 242; NCG = 180) while the experimental group produces podcasts in contrast to the control group. A preliminary study suggests that professional vision can be enhanced through the production of collaborative podcasts compared to write blogs. Additionally, we want to analyze the change in beliefs and the willingness to reflect via podcasting.
