Social video learning – creation of a reflection-based course design in teacher education

Abstract

Reflection on teaching practice is a challenging activity. Often, reflection does only take part on a superficial level. The present contribution describes the creation and first testing of a Social Video Learning (SVL) setting by means of Learning Analytics (LA) for a teacher education course. Furthermore, a theoretical foundation for SVL was tried to create to design the course adequately. Key findings are that (I): SVL has the potential to increase the level of depth in reflection processes, (II): A collaborative and learner centered design is important to benefit from SVL, (III): The use of Learning Analytics in SVL scenarios potentially fosters coaching and learning outcomes of the students.
