  2. Introduction: representation, teacher learning and video • ‘Almost all forms of learning involve information that is represented in different forms’ (van Someren et al, 1998).

  3. Digital video for teachers: what problems can it solve?

  4. Digital video for teachers: what problems can it solve? • Teachers Network.com: • … a shortage of teachers nationwide, • educators are entering school this fall with little or no hands-on classroom experience. • Overcrowded classes, • pressure to “teach to tests,” • a more diversified student population • added stress on this new crop of teachers….

  5. Digital video for teachers: what problems can it solve? • Teachers Network.com: • Guidance in the form of professional development, via the Internet, is now available, • an archive of wisdom and best practices • from some of the greatest teachers on the front lines • a series of interactive streaming videos, which offers practical instruction for the novice teacher, and serves as a form of “digital mentoring.”

  19. Interactive Classroom Explorer (ICE) • The ICE user is encouraged not only to consider the merits of the exemplar video (video proposition ‘P’) • But also to actively consider its opposite, ie to challenge the authority status of the exemplar video (video proposition ‘not-P’) • And the capability of uploading new material, to be considered alongside that produced by those in authority, adds a whole new dimension (video proposition ‘or possibly Q’)

  20. Interactive Classroom Explorer (ICE) Our current hypothesis: learning as association - A tentative propositional calculus based on a set of six relational links between representations: Boolean [P + Q, P ν Q, P + ¬Q] ‘P plus Q’ Identity [P = Q, P ≠ Q] ‘P is the same as Q’ Existential [ P] ‘P is real; this is how it is] Modal [ Δ P, ¬ Δ Q] ‘P is necessary, Q isn’t’ Causality [P Q] ‘If P then Q’ Truth value (P or <P r Q>) [true or false]

  21. So what did ICE deliver?

  22. Using ICE over the Internet • ICE did prompt critical reflection on video, though not all teachers were able to upload video quotations • It was possible to identify P, not-P and perhaps Q statements in the postings • Teachers found it easier to post their own responses than to comment on those of others • It’s incredibly difficult to explain how ICE works and what it does via the software only….

  23. Looking ahead…. • Key issues for the future: • Work on scaling up for wider populations • Gain deeper insights into teachers’ internalised representations • Explore teachers’ discourse • Work with a wider range of research partners • Make the software available as freeware
