We explore the dynamics and directionality of spontaneous emission from self-assembled In(Ga)As quantum dots into transverse-electric-polarized guided modes in GaAs two-dimensional photonic-crystal waveguides. The local group velocity of the guided waveguide mode is probed, with values as low as similar to 1.5% c measured close to the slow-light band edge. By performing complementary continuous-wave and time-resolved measurements with detection along and perpendicular to the waveguide axis, we probe the fraction of emission into the waveguide mode (beta factor). For dots randomly positioned within the unit cell of the photonic-crystal waveguide, our results show that the emission rate varies from >= 1.55 ns(-1) close to the slow-light band edge to
