Using Video-Stimulated Recall as a Tool for Reflecting on the Teaching of Mathematics
Muir, Tracey
Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (33rd, Freemantle, Western Australia, Jul 3-7, 2010)
This paper reports on the use of a reflective technique that incorporated video-stimulated recall to encourage reflection on practice. The author videotaped a series of mathematics lessons conducted by an experienced teacher, which were then collaboratively viewed and discussed, with the aim being to bring about changes in the teacher's practice. The findings indicated that the video footage was a powerful medium that stimulated deliberate reflection and led to changes in teaching approaches that were consistent with mathematical reform recommendations.
