Classroom management is an essential skill for teachers. Although lectures can enable students to obtain crucial knowledge regarding classroom management, they cannot cultivate the ability to handle actual classroom management problems. Although studies have investigated developing students' problem-solving skills in classroom management courses, few have used video cases as instructional materials. Therefore, in this study, video case instruction in classroom management course materials was used to develop students' abilities to handle actual problems and students' learning outcomes and their perceptions of using these materials were explored. A pre-service teacher classroom management course of the 2020-2021 academic year was used as the research site, and the 46 students taking the course were included as research participants. Self-developed video cases and supporting instructional materials on four themes (bullying, academic misconduct, parent-teacher conflict, and campus safety) were used as teaching content. This study used assignment assessments to understand students' learning outcomes, peer and self-assessments of the group discussion to collect learning participation data, and after-class questionnaires and interviews to determine the students' learning perceptions. The results revealed that video case instructional materials can enable students to acquire the ability to deal with practical problems. The learning outcomes varied with the course themes. Students engaged seriously in group discussions but were more likely to listen to others than to share their own ideas. Moreover, the students verified that the video cases clearly presented the sequence of classroom management cases, which enabled them to understand the procedures and methods required to handle such cases. In this study, group discussions promoted brainstorming and absorption of multiple viewpoints; the assignments enabled the students to review, reflect, and form deeper impressions; and teachers sharing their experiences enabled the students to learn practical knowledge and analyze the feasibility of proposed strategies. The results of this study can be used as a reference for improving students' abilities to deal with classroom management problems. |
