Abstract
Reflective practice is an integral component of a teacher’s classroom success (Zeichner and Liston, 1996; Valli, 1997). There is a need to further develop a more effective and efficient process that encourages reflective practice. Recent technological video advancements have provided tools to support new research. This chapter presents an innovative process that proposes to improve teacher reflective practice by using an enhanced video analysis technique. The findings suggest the video-enhanced reflection process provides solutions to the barriers that have traditionally prevented reflection from being meaningful and long lasting. The qualitative analysis suggests that video-enhanced reflection had a positive impact on teacher reflective abilities.
