Pre-service Teachers’ Perception, Interpretation, and Decision-Making in Mathematics at the Primary Level – Using Video-Vignettes for Research

Abstract

Teachers' perception, interpretation, and decision-making skills are considered a prerequisite for appropriate teacher behavior in complex teaching situations. For researching these skills, video-vignettes are recommended as a context-sensitive stimulus. The article presents a study about these skills of pre-service teachers using video-vignettes showing learners dealing with context-related problems. When watching these video-vignettes, the pre-service teachers perceive various aspects relevant to teaching and learning about learners' processing of context-related problems and draw on existing subject-specific didactic knowledge. Concerning further work with the learners, they mention various possibilities but rarely specify them. So, it seems that the conclusion is difficult for them. Therefore, it would be advisable to integrate videos into university teaching to create more learning opportunities to acquire these skills and help pre-service teachers conclude.
