Video analysis as a tool for teacher education and professional development is the focus of an extensive international literature. Findings of research on this topic show, also with particular reference to mathematics teaching, that video analysis can foster the development of specific skills related to the construct of “teacher noticing”. Based on these premises, the paper presents the methodology and some results of an empirical research aimed at exploring the effects of the use of video analysis within an integrated workshop on “Teaching Innovation and Educational Technologies” and “Mathematics Teaching”, designed and implemented by the research group during the academic year 2023/24 in the Degree Program in Primary Teacher Education at the University of Bologna. The results examined highlight the potential of video analysis to promote in future teachers skills of analysis and reflection on teaching practices useful to support their continuous improvement.

Keywords: video analysis, teacher noticing, teacher education, mathematics teaching, kindergarten and primary school.
