Abstract: Video and image are now used in education in three different perspectives and approaches:as a medium of instruction, a tool of exploring classroom interaction and a way of promoting teacher professional development. Traditionally, video and image were understood in terms of medium,tool, application, method or means, which underestimated the unique value of video and image in theory production including educational theory production. That is to say, they can create a new source of knowledge, new research perspectives and paradigms, and a new world of theory. The video-image turn in current education research means a shift from instrumental orientation to theoretical orientation. In addition, the ways of understanding pedagogy,research methods and creation will change from analysis through video and image to analysis of video and image.Pedagogical ways of presentation, as well as rhetoric and writing styles will turn to the integration of text,language,video and image.

Key words: video and image, education research, creation of educational theory, turn
