Main -> In the Classroom: Educational Psychology -> How to Use Video-Capture of Expert Teachers in Your Educational Psychology Course
Video-capture of expert teachers. Nirula and Peskin (2008) presented two studies that attempted to utilize video-capture technology to demonstrate expert teachers’ reflections on case studies. In the first study, students in an online class watched a series of videos of expert teachers thinking out loud while they read two case studies. Students then participated in several online discussions about the video-captured case study . In the second study, secondary education students either discussed the application of the case studies and wrote a brief paper or watched the video-capture of the expert teacher. Next, students briefly discussed the case study, and wrote a brief paper. Again, when students used the video-capture technology they were able to apply class content, were more confident in their ability to teach, and understood class material better than the control group. Additionally, students who received the video-capture wrote significantly more than students in the control group. The authors suggested that video-capture is a valuable tool for enhancing engagement and teaching in educational psychology classrooms.
