Abstract
Video is a valuable technology used for teaching and learning and specifically, video plays a significant part in effectively preparing pre-service teachers (PSTs) for the profession. Video is now being used as a form of PST assessment, which raises concern as to whether PSTs are being properly supported in this process. Therefore, this chapter turns to years of research on video use in teacher education to 1.) Identify ways that video has effectively been utilized in teacher education 2.) Understand the most operative aspects of video with respect to both the developer and the observer 3.) Explain the concern surrounding video as a means for assessment in teacher education and 4.) Suggest ways to support PSTs in recording and creating their own video segments of teaching. In doing so, this chapter aims to contribute to improving teacher education programs in terms of video-based assessment.
