Video elicitation: Observing pre-service teacher experiences in their professional development

Uswatun Khasanah

Abstract


Supervising preservice teachers during their teaching practicum requires relevant, effective, and efficient techniques in order to help the preservice teachers reflect their teaching. The most common supervision is observing the preservice teachers while conducting the lessons in the classroom. This case study revealed how two modes of supervision using 080 and VER were carried out. Nine pre-service teachers were observed when having supervision using 080 and VER. The results showed that the preservice teachers were more dominant in making reflections on their lessons in VER compared to their reflection in 080. Both modes have their own advantages and disadvantages on feedback and tension. OBD was helpful in getting direct feedback from the supervisor, though setting up the recording device became a problem for the teachers. VER, however, was more relaxing because of the absence of the supervisor, despite delayed feedback. Keywords: preservice teachers, supervision, observation-based debriefing, video-elicited reflection.

Keywords
