The role of video analysis and deliberate rehearsal in the development of language stimulation skills in pre-service preschool teacher preparation: An experimental study

Abstract
© 2021 Elsevier LtdAn experiment was conducted to evaluate the contribution of active learning and deliberate rehearsal to the language-promotion abilities of pre-service teachers. Fifty-nine students enrolled in intensive early childhood or elementary education university programs were randomly assigned to a video analysis, video analysis + deliberate rehearsal, or control condition. Participants in the two experimental conditions produced better language interactions in fictional -but not real-scenarios than students receiving only intensive university training. Deliberate rehearsal did not have an additional impact over video analysis. Implications for university teaching of language promotion abilities are discussed.
