Mobile vs. Stationary Camera: Effects on edTPA Task 2 Scores
Joseph Johnson; Lauren Berlingo-Tapp
SRATE Journal, v34 n1 2025
This study examined the effects of a mobile camera versus a stationary camera on scores for Rubrics 6-9 of the Elementary Education edTPA Task 2. Scores on these rubrics are primarily based on video evidence for a positive classroom environment, engaging students in learning, deepening student learning, and subject-specific pedagogy. Over two years, the researchers collected edTPA videos from Elementary Education majors and divided them based on the use of a mobile or stationary camera. Mean scores for Rubrics 6-9 were examined to determine if a significant difference existed between the camera set-up being used for the Task 2 videos. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference in scores on Rubrics 6-8, with videos made with a mobile camera having higher mean scores. These results suggest that those completing the edTPA should consider incorporating a mobile camera to collect the video evidence required for Task 2.
