Synopsis

This book introduces the use of video analysis into the popular educational research model of action research. Video analysis has become increasingly common in teacher development for reflective practice, as well as within the teacher certification process as an assessment tool. Kimberly Lebak builds on this use of video with a model that integrates the opportunities afforded by action research and video analysis for meaningful teacher development. Her "how-to" guide brings the theoretical and practical together to show teachers how video can be a concrete artifact for unpacking and reflecting on the complexities inherent in educational contexts.

Chapter content helps readers bridge the gap between research and practice. Examples of tools that can be used for getting started with video-based action research are embedded in the chapters, including planning tools to help pinpoint opportunities for using video to identify a meaningful research topic and develop a data collection plan and action plan; and reflective tools for viewing the videos from multiple perspectives. Teacher vignettes further cement the applicability of the video-based action research model.

This book is ideal for use by teachers at all stages of their careers, including pre-service teachers just embarking on their careers and in-service teachers looking to examine and improve their practices along with the learning of their students. It will have an additional benefit in teacher education programs as well as in undergraduate- or graduate-level action research courses by academic researchers and teacher educators.
