Using self-captured video to support reflective practice in teacher professional learning communities

This chapter reports on research that examined the development of a procedure for classroom video self-capture and the processes for supporting collaborative professional learning of teachers working in a professional learning community environment using self-captured video. A case study methodology within a constructivist perspective was applied in four school settings. Whilst teacher agency is at the heart of video self-capture for professional learning, this chapter highlights some of the constraints and facilitators in supporting teacher agency, including the teacher’s technical ability, the level of focus of professional learning, whether broad-based or specific, and school support structures.
