It concludes corresponding operation modes with two kinds of classroom observation ways and sums up video analysis process through using Nvivo.And then, in order to help the analysis from practical significance, this paper selects the classroom of information science and technology discipline in a central primary school of Jing An District as a case study. It compares the difference between classroom assessment in traditional way and using Nvivo software respect through shooting classroom video, the teacher evaluating classroom assessment gauges, analyzing the results of questionnaire fulfilled by teachers and students after class, etc. Finally, the paper also improves software analysis process taking teachers’ suggestions into account.Research finds Nvivo has strong applicability for classroom video analysis. Many observed items can use Nvivo software to obtain better interpretive analysis of either quantitative or qualitative observation.
