Teaching Behavior in Elementary School Science Supported by an Intelligent Video Analytics Platform

In recent years, science education has increasingly been widely noticed and emphasized, and has become a new hotspot in subject teaching research. However, there is still a relative lack of research on classroom teaching behaviors in the integration of information technology and elementary school science. Therefore, this study analyzes teaching behaviors in the dimensions of classroom events, classroom discourse structure, teacher's attention, teacher's emotion, and teacher-student interaction through video analytics by using an intelligent video analytics platform to analyze a classroom video of an elementary school science teaching session that was launched using a tablet mobile device, in order to investigate teacher teaching behaviors and teacher-student interactions in the classroom of integrating information technology and elementary school science. It was found that the classroom atmosphere in the integrated classroom of information technology and elementary school science was lively and the teachers were in a positive emotion, but there were problems of uneven distribution of attention and insufficient teacher-student interaction. These problems were identified with the aim of providing teachers with specific guidelines to improve their teaching methods and strategies, and to help them utilize information technology more effectively to enhance teacher-student interactions, thereby enhancing teaching effectiveness.
