In the article an attempt at describing theoretical bases and application of self-observation using video-technology in teachers' education has been undertaken. The article starts by showing the very beginning of the use of visual self-observation in teachers' education. First of all video self-observation is approached as an important tool for changing self-esteem and for changing teachers' professional performance. However, this self-observation is only the first aid. The critical factor in causing changes of behaviour is the role of a tutor. In general self-observation is rather the medium for changing the self-esteem which an object presents than a direct cause of behavioural change.
