ACTION RESEARCH AND THE USE OF VIDEOTAPING In teacher education, action research has traditionally been regarded as a vehicle for change, facilitating the participants’ monitoring of their success and failure as they enact alternative possibilities for school improvement. However, recent theorists such as Zeichner and Gore (1995) emphasize that action research does not focus only on school improvement alone but also has the purpose of helping teachers see what they know and building on it, to construct their voices so that they can extend this help to their students. This view of action research uses strategic action as a tool for improvement and understanding. Current researchers of action research expect to promote processes of teacher transformation (Carr & Kemmis, 1986). They must show how action research helped the participants become thoughtful about their teaching, by becoming aware of their practices, and of the gaps between their beliefs and their practices, and by learning to be sensitive to their pupils’ differences in thinking and learning. They must also show how these teachers gain control of their own professional development by being reflective. This study is located within this recent view of action research. The present study is based on the participation of teachers and students in research processes that concern their relationship. The main goal is to create a space for a reflexive process of enlightenment whereby the researcher, teachers and student, reach an authentic understanding of their situation. This space was partly created by means of videotaping, used not only for the purpose of data collection but also for enhancing the self-reflexive transformative activity of the participants. It is not uncommon for videotaping to be used as a stimulus for teachers’ reflections facilitating the transformational process (Gallimore & Golderberg, 1992; Wells & Chang-Wells, 1992; Denyer & Florio-Ruane, 1995). Videotapes are used for both teacher and pupil to observe and inform each other of what they see and how they think and feel. Furthermore, videotapes are also used to enable the teachers to be ready to see and discuss with respect to how they felt. |
