Barber, Patti, Fielding, Helen, Ineson, Gwen, Rowland, Tim and Voutsina, Charis (2015) An analysis of pre-service teachers’ reflections of ‘good practice’ teaching videos. Conference of the British Society for Research into Learning Mathematics (BSRLM) and Mathematics Education Ireland (MEI), Dublin, Ireland. 27 - 28 Feb 2015.

Abstract

Video clips of mathematics lessons are used extensively in initial teacher education and continuing professional learning activities. Given course time constraints, an opportunity to critique these videos is not always possible. Because of this, and because pre-service teachers make extensive use of material found during internet searches, much of it purporting to exemplify ‘good’ practice, we were interested to know what sense they make of such material. By encouraging pre-service teachers to reflect and comment on the practices being promoted in this way, we wanted to hear what they focused on, their initial views of the teaching and learning shown in the video, and how their views were formed and affected by engaging in discussion.
