The main goal of the IPN Video Study is to systematically describe and analyse physics instruction and to investigate its relevance for understanding-oriented learning in the classroom. This technical report provides an overview of all the tools and methods used in the study and thus shows how to run a video study that analyses patterns of instruction and their impact on cognitive as well as motivational-affective learning outcomes. The report includes the documentation of the organisation and realisation of the IPN Video Study. Moreover, this book presents standardised guidelines for collecting and for the transcription of video tapes, and it describes the observation and coding procedures in detail.
