| Abstract: | The study explored the impact of using video‐based pedagogy on preservice teachers' cognitions about teaching mathematics. The use of video‐based pedagogy was integrated into the course, Methods for Teaching Elementary School Mathematics. A variety of written and interview data were collected during the course and, in the following semester, during student teaching. Evidence from case studies of three preservice teachers indicates that they engaged in reflection and reconstruction of their beliefs about how children learn mathematics and moved from a more didactic perspective of teaching mathematics toward a student‐centered perspective. Such movement appears to have been influenced by the use of video‐based pedagogy. |
