What is Video Pedagogy?

Video pedagogy means the use of digital video for teaching and learning whether the video is produced or viewed by teachers, students or others. 

How is Video Pedagogy relevant to Vocational Education?

This question is addressed in this short video which explores how video can help to improve vocational education and training giving examples of particular sectors and learning environments where it has been applied and making reference to research.

Does Video make teachers obsolete?

Video pedagogy conceptualises video as a tool within the teaching and learning process (the pedagogical script), rather than as an alternative to teachers. 

Where can video pedagogy be used?

Video pedagogy is used at many educational levels, as part of formal, informal, and non-formal learning, whether professional or academic, initial or continuing, work-based, self-directed or class-based. 

Currently use of video pedagogy is expanding rapidly in higher education and in non-formal (open) learning.

What are the advantages of using video pedagogy?

Video can make teaching and learning more more compelling and more interactive; it offers a tool to correct the over-dependence on teacher-talk and written text which characterises current teaching – particularly in ETF’s partner countries.

Key benefits are:

  1. Video pedagogy can engage and inspire learners – young and adult
  2. Video pedagogy can help to develop skills mastery and retention, particularly through repeated and active viewing (as permitted by modern web-based media viewers)
  3. Video pedagogy can simulate work-based learning contexts for vocational learners by connecting them to tasks and situations from the world of work
  4. Video pedagogy promotes reflection and learning from practice.
  5. Video pedagogy supports teaching and learning over distances and across time.
