Supporting Preservice Teachers' Development of Professional Vision: Performance Assessments and Beyond

• In Event: 14.029 - Seeing Is Believing: Videos and Reflection to Support Preservice Teacher Development

Abstract

This paper explores the affordances of a multimedia video annotation tool and video repository for the development of pre-service teachers’ professional vision (PV)—the ability to notice key elements of a learning environment, interpret them, and respond. 23 pre-service teachers (PTs) created multimedia artifacts in which they applied theory to practice by identifying and explaining teaching and learning activities within authentic classroom video. Our results suggest that the production and revision of a multimedia video analytic over the course of a semester is a fruitful context for PTs to explore the nuances of learning theory. We conjecture that working with video analytics throughout PTs careers helps to prepare them for the realities of widely adopted performance-based teacher assessments.
