Abstract

This paper is a description of a research project on the use of computer based electronic observation tools in the supervision of student teachers. A team of researchers are conducting a series of observations of pre-service teachers in public schools, grades 7 through 12, concluded December, 2003. Data was collected on teacher behavior and student performance using laptop computers. The Electronic Observation Tools software includes twenty-two electronic observation tools and areas for anecdotal commentary. The tools focus on four areas that affect success in the classroom: teacher actions, student actions, whole class events, and specific incident events. Project outcomes include feedback from student teachers on the usefulness of the data for improving their teaching practices, and feedback from classroom supervisors on the effectiveness of the data for supporting guidance and mentoring of student teachers.
