Video analysis has previously shown its potential to shed light on learning processes in naturalistic and especially in open phases of instruction (Knigge, Siemon, Nordstrand, & Stolp, 2013). In its current research, the team of Professor Jens Siemon at Universität Hamburg seeks to assess teachers’ supportive activities in the naturalistic setting of the classroom, and describe every supportive event in a way in which micro-activities (on both the teacher’s and on the student’s side) and process characteristics are adequately considered. For this purpose, existing approaches (van de Pol & Elbers, 2013; Wood, Bruner, & Ross, 1976) were extended with the video-based recording and assessment procedure MuVA (Siemon, Boom, & Scholkmann, 2015) and the new video analysis software Interact (cf. Mangold, 2006). In this presentation, Dr Scholkmann will elaborate on the potential of these approaches for analysing teacher supportive behaviour. She will show both examples of the current material and first results on the amount, quality, micro-activities and process characteristics of teachers’ supportive behaviours inferred from their dataset.
