Using Video to Foster Teacher Development

Featuring an international team of education researchers and practitioners, this edited volume demonstrates various ways in which the use of video recordings can shed light on and improve teaching processes in the classroom environment. Providing a novel and global approach to this burgeoning area of research, chapters highlight how authentic video clips can be used systematically in both teacher education and professional development programs to ensure lifelong professional reflection and growth for teachers. Through detailed insight into research projects where teachers and teacher educators use video to improve practice, the book provides a research-based response to why and how videos can be used to raise instructional quality and discuss key issues in the field. Exploring findings from empirically based research combined with everyday practices, the volume will ultimately serve as a solid and inspiring introduction to the growing body of research on the use of video in teacher learning for educational researchers and educators interested in teaching and teaching practices, as well as practitioners in the fields of teacher education and teachers' professional development.
