The Use of Video Technology in Pre-service Teacher Education and In-service Teacher Professional Development

Abstract

This chapter provided a review of the western literature on the use of video technology in teacher education and professional development. The importance of using videos in building pre-service and in-service mathematics teachers was discussed in the context of digital literacy and current movements in teacher education and professional development. The role of video in teacher education and professional development has evolved since the 1960s based on both prevailing learning theories and technological innovations. Following the review, a rubric was constructed to evaluate the effectiveness of video technology used in pre-service and in-service mathematics teacher education and professional development in six Asian countries: Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines.
