Description | This research explores the impact of a video observation model developed for teacher
candidates in an early experiences course. Video Grand Rounds (VGR) combines a
structured observation protocol, videos, and directed debriefing to enhance teacher
candidates observations skills within non-structured and field-based observations. Findings
illuminate that VGR teacher candidates (TCs) demonstrated significantly greater growth than
non-VGR teacher candidates in their abilities to focus on salient features of classroom
interactions, to identify the complexity of classroom interactions, and to readily transferred
observation skills from a video platform to an in-school platform. | en_US |
