How Does Video Analysis Impact Teacher Reflection-for-Action?

Reflective practice is an integral component of a
teacher s classroom
success. Reflective practice requires a teacher to
step back and
consider the implications and effects of teaching
practices. Research
has shown that formal reflection on teaching can lead
to improved
understanding and practice of pedagogy, classroom
management, and
professionalism. Several methods have been used over
the years to
stimulate reflective practice; many of these methods
required teachers
to use awkward and time-consuming tools with a
minimal impact on
teaching performance. This book presents an
innovative video-
enhanced reflection process focused on improving
teacher reflection.
Video-enhanced reflection is a process that uses
video analysis to
stimulate reflective thought. The findings presented
in this book
suggest the video-enhanced reflection process
provides solutions to
the barriers (i.e., time, tool, support) that have
traditionally prevented
reflection from being meaningful and long lasting.
