A Method In Video Case-Based Instruction: Pre-Service Teachers Own Video-Cases Edited And Discussed

This study aimed to examine the video case-based instruction process, which includes the face-to- face discussion of video-cases edited by pre-service teachers with their own in-class teaching experiences. For these purposes, the research was conducted as a case study by adopting a qualitative research approach. The research group consists of 16 (9 female, 7 male) pre-service teachers who took the course of Teaching Practice for the first time in the Department of CEIT, Faculty of Educational Sciences, Ankara University in 2016-2017 academic year. The research process includes the recording of in-class teaching experiences of pre-service teachers, preparing these teaching experiences as video-cases edited by the pre-service teachers, monitoring, and discussing the video-cases. The data of the study was obtained from the process evaluation interviews with the prospective teachers using a semi-structured interview form. As a result of this research, in the video case-based instruction process, it was determined that the pre-service teachers had the opportunity to monitor themselves, that they noticed the change in both themselves and their friends, that they learn to accept criticism. Also, it was determined that their appreciation by their peers and caring about their thoughts were valuable and important. Finally, it was found that the video-based instruction process was beneficial for pre-service teachers in order to gain experience (more than they could gain), discuss and develop critical skills, as well as to obtain feedback that could not be obtained from school counselors.
