The study focused on the training of College of Education (CoE) faculty in the use of digital video recording to enhance the training of prospective teachers by providing portable technology capable of capturing real-time classroom interactions between faculty and aspiring teachers, and pre-service teachers and students. The initial objective of the project was to create a “train the trainer” model so that the CoE faculty could become sufficiently adept at using the video technology to subsequently train students (prospective teachers) in skills on how to capture and edit digital videos of themselves with their own students in actual classroom settings during field service or internship.

While the initial purpose of the project was to train faculty in the use of digital video recording technology, the project’s outcome reflected more on ways to facilitate the pedagogical and communication skills of CoE faculty while using technological tools. In addition, some indicators in survey responses appeared to indicate that a factor in the faculty participants’ outcomes was the overall predisposition of the faculty to use the technology themselves, regardless of pedagogical considerations or motivation.

Abstract

The study focused on the training of College of Education (CoE) faculty in the use of digital video recording to enhance the training of prospective teachers by providing portable technology capable of capturing real-time classroom interactions between faculty and aspiring teachers, and pre-service teachers and students. The initial objective of the project was to create a “train the trainer” model so that the CoE faculty could become sufficiently adept at using the video technology to subsequently train students (prospective teachers) in skills on how to capture and edit digital videos of themselves with their own students in actual classroom settings during field service or internship.

While the initial purpose of the project was to train faculty in the use of digital video recording technology, the project’s outcome reflected more on ways to facilitate the pedagogical and communication skills of CoE faculty while using technological tools. In addition, some indicators in survey responses appeared to indicate that a factor in the faculty participants’ outcomes was the overall predisposition of the faculty to use the technology themselves, regardless of pedagogical considerations or motivation.
