Abstract

Video cases have become used extensively in teacher education as one approach for illustrating best practices to novice teachers. Those video cases that include access to experienced teachers' decision making during teaching have proven to be particularly powerful because they reveal the complex and reasoned decision making that experienced teachers engage in during instruction - in essence making the transparent visible. In this brief paper session, the rationale for and design of a video case system for teaching elementary school science will be described. Examples of how cases have been integrated into a science methods course will be provided. Finally, a summary of findings from research on the impact of using cases on the development of preservice teachers' understanding of teaching science will be presented.
