Technology Helps Student Teachers Make the Grade
Purdue University faculty have learned how to be a "fly on the wall" when observing student teachers. In a pilot project this year, School of Education professors are using digital video equipment to observe student teachers in the classroom via the Internet. Traditionally, faculty observe student teachers for two-hour periods several times during their teaching assignments.Gerald H. Krockover, a professor of curriculum and instruction and earth and atmospheric sciences, said the approach is more cost-effective, efficient and yields better results than traditional methods. "I see this model growing and being very useful for schools and universities that have the technology infrastructure in place," Krockover said. "If it grows, it could really change the way student teaching supervision is done."
