Videocases for Science Teaching Analysis (ViSTA)

这个为期五年的项目将开发六个视频案例模块，用于K-8职前教师培训计划。模块将针对特定级别的频段(K-3、4-5或6-8)，并针对基于标准的内容域。每个模块都旨在帮助未来的教师加深他们的教学知识、教学技能和分析学生思维的能力。视频案例将展示改革课堂实践和更传统的教学，包括对教师和学生的采访，并纳入一套分析任务，以促进用户对案例的批判性观察。首席调查员为该项目带来了通过对TIMSS视频的分析和在科学教师教育方面丰富的先前研究经验而获得的专业知识。

This five-year project will develop six video-case modules for use in K-8 pre-service teacher preparation programs. Modules will be directed toward specific grade bands (K-3, 4-5, or 6-8) and address standards-based content domains. Each module is intended to help future teachers deepen their content knowledge, pedagogic skills and ability to analyze student thinking. The video cases will illustrate both reform classroom practices and more traditional instruction, include interviews with teachers and students and incorporate a set of analytic tasks that promote users' critical observations of the cases. The Principal Investigators bring to the project an expertise acquired through their analyses of the TIMSS videos and extensive prior research experience in science teacher education.
