Classroom observations through video recordings – Methodological approaches and ethical considerations

Schmidt, Catarina,1964-Institutionen för didaktik och pedagogisk profession, Göteborgs universitet (författare)

Within the project Exploring the elusive teaching gap, qualitative methods consisting of focus group interviews, individual interviews, field notes and the collection of various teaching resources and pedagogical documents are used for the purpose of studying the ways in which curricula are enacted in classrooms and the classroom discourses this creates. In addition, video and audio recordings of classroom teaching and learning are carried out for the same purpose. In this chapter, the focus is on the methodological approaches and ethical considerations of video recording as a method of data collection carried out in classrooms among teachers and students. The chapter addresses central methodological issues regarding what is actually accomplished and gained when observing classroom interaction and communication through the lens of a video camera. In addition, issues of selection regarding which sequences to video record will be described, and the possibility of a shared and comparative analytical process will be elaborated on. Lastly, ethical considerations and the reasons for related actions will be presented and discussed.
