| LESSON ANALYSIS WITH PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS Analyzing Videotaped lessons around student engagement in mathematical thinking. This project is being carried out by Jaime Park (Teacher Education Program, UCLA). Project Summary Video-taped lessons provide a means by which pre-service teachers can observe classrooms beyond the limits of their teacher education program partnership schools. During discussions, groups of pre-service teachers can not only watch a common lesson but can also watch a particular segment over and over again. Incorporating analysis of video-taped lessons with live classroom observations can promote more effective discussions. This project investigates whether video-based analysis can enhance a particularly important aspect of the knowledge pre-service mathematics teachers should acquire as part of their teacher preparation program: the ability to analyze students' engagement in mathematical thinking in the lessons they teach. To this end, in this project a group of pre-service teachers is participating in a course focused on the analysis of student engagement in mathematical thinking as observed in videotaped lessons. These pre-service teachers’ abilities to analyze student thinking in a lesson they taught, will be compared to those of a control group enrolled in the same teacher preparation program. The control group is participating in a parallel course, which includes the discussion of student engagement but makes no use of video-based analysis. Other Network Research...
