Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of the photovoice method as an educational tool. To do so, the theoretical frameworks that inform its use were analyzed. Many educators have identified the potential of photovoice as a valuable tool for fostering critical reflection. This is because photovoice enriches the research process by allowing students to express their thoughts visually and verbally, thereby revealing structures of knowledge that are challenging to access through conventional methods. We have implications for teacher education and teacher research methodologies. Photovoice can serve as a platform for teachers to actively express their perspectives, contribute to practical knowledge generation, influence reflection, and facilitate meaningful dialogues within the educational community.
