Developing teacher self-awareness: Feedback and the use of video

Abstract

Video is often seen as a useful means of providing feedback to teachers in various kinds of training situation. This article looks at its role in the overall context of feedback, and then outlines its use in a programme with regular practical teaching of real classes, which resulted in the need for generalized viewing guides. Design considerations are outlined, and the guides actually devised are summarized. Experience indicated that the guides had a positive effect in increasing self-awareness, but that they cannot be used in isolation from other forms of feedback. © 1991 Oxford University Press 1991.
