Teacher PD – Week 5 – Class Notes

PD Design of DVC (Dialogic Video Cycle)

  • 2 groups – intervention group & control group
  • Cycle of 3 events and then repeated
  • Did not see so much about the “Prediction”

Video Clubs (Van Es)

PD

  • noticing student thinking
  • confusion evidence to evidence it and engage in the videos
  • discourses of noticing – noticing framework
  • 1 year – 7 interventions – self selected
  • focused on student thinking rather than content
  • looked at comments while watching the videos
  • self-reports focused on how much they elicit student thinking
  • more developmental vs normative video use
  • looked at peer videos

Research Methods

  • research question was very open
  • who video-clubs would influence:
    • teacher’s thinking about student’s learning
    • looking at teacher as learner
  • video taped PD itself – transcripts
    • fine-grained analysis
      • actor – object of focus
      • topic – what were they talked about
      • stance – what type of discourse they engaged in
      • video based or non video based evidence
    • Results
      • teacher’s views shifted
        • actor – more about student than the teacher
        • topic – from classroom management to mathematical thinking
        • stance – from evaluation to evidence based discussion
      • classroom instruction were also video taped
        • coded for student and whole group discussions
        • changes in instruction
          • made space for student thinking
          • publicly demonstrated student learning
          • probed students for more evidence
          • learning about teaching
      • teacher exit interviews
        • chances in thinking and practice
          • look at student thinking
          • attending to student thinking
          • own school curriculum
