The effect of a video-based intervention on the knowledge-based reasoning of future mathematics teachers

Naďa Vondrová

pp. 699-717

The article focuses on the professional vision of pre-service mathematics teachers. Drawing on literature about its development in video-based interventions, the article focuses on the effect of a video-based intervention on pre-service teachers' (n = 32) knowledge-based reasoning as a component of professional vision. The intervention had features compatible with situated cognition learning theory. The participants' knowledge-based reasoning was tracked in participants' written reflections on mathematics lessons shown on video before and after the intervention. An important feature of the intervention lies in balancing the videos to avoid the learning effect and a possible influence of the video content. The study showed a decrease in subjective judgments and negative comments about the lessons; however, there was a decrease rather than increase in higher-level interpretations. Possible reasons for this are discussed against results of similar intervention studies. Implications for teacher education are given.
