Collecting Evidence of Instruction with Video and Observation Data in NCES Surveys

Abstract

"Although videos and observation instruments have a long history in research on teaching, relatively few National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) surveys take advantage of these methodologies for data collection. In this paper, I provide a short overview of how these methods have been used both by NCES and in other large-scale studies of teaching and learning and explore how such data could be useful for researchers in the context of NCES surveys, with a particular focus on longitudinal surveys."
