Innovative video-based techniques are opening new windows on the processes involved in teaching and learning. Yet experiences with using video examples as a method of providing instruction about teaching suggests that there are important obstacles to be overcome before this technology can serve as the basis for improving education. This proposal will address the problems involved in developing effective ways to use video records of classroom processes as a means to help teachers reflect on the processes of teaching and learning. The research has two major related goals: 1) studying the cognitive processes involved in learning from video and developing effective combinations of materials and tasks that promote teacher understanding of classroom processes, and 2) developing new methods for producing and disseminating video records of classroom processes that overcome some of the major limitations of current techniques. The proposed studies will describe the problem space of video materials and viewer tasks to find an optimal set of procedures for effectively using vignettes taken from classroom video as an educational technique. To promote generalization of results, the proposed studies will include children at two grade levels (1 & 4) and focus on two central topics in elementary school mathematics (learning about number representation and place value in grade 1, and learning about fraction representation and equivalence in grade 4). The system will be tested for its impact on teacher understanding, teaching practices, and student learning. The system will use the Internet to develop and implement teacher learning communities. Experience in developing and testing these materials will also facilitate extending the approach to other grades and domains.

基于视频的创新技术为教学过程打开了新的窗口。然而，使用视频示例作为提供教学指导的方法的经验表明，在这项技术成为改善教育的基础之前，还需要克服一些重要的障碍。该提案将解决开发有效方法使用课堂过程视频记录作为帮助教师反思教学过程的手段所涉及的问题。该研究有两个主要相关目标：1）研究视频学习所涉及的认知过程，并开发材料和任务的有效组合，以促进教师对课堂过程的理解；2）开发制作和传播课堂过程视频记录的新方法克服了当前技术的一些主要限制。拟议的研究将描述视频材料和观众任务的问题空间，以找到一组最佳程序，以有效地将课堂视频中的小插图用作教育技术。为了促进结果的普遍化，拟议的研究将包括两个年级（1 和 4）的儿童，并重点关注小学数学的两个中心主题（学习 1 年级的数字表示和位值，以及学习分数表示和等价）四年级）。该系统将测试其对教师理解、教学实践和学生学习的影响。该系统将利用互联网来开发和实施教师学习社区。开发和测试这些材料的经验也将有助于将该方法扩展到其他等级和领域。
