A Video Annotation System to support Self Reflection in Microteaching with Mobile Devices

Abstract

This study aims to propose a method to support university students’ self-reflection to improve their teaching skills on portable mobile devices in an asynchronous online environment. To achieve this, we examine a method of improving teaching skills through self-reflection based on using the extension functions of the video annotation system which supports self-reflection. Therefore, we conducted a peer review of microteaching using the system with eight university students who are teacher trainees. We analyzed the results of a questionnaire for learners and the results of interviews with teacher educators. As a result, it became clear that these functions are effective as a method for supporting self-reflection for improving teaching skills for university students.
