  In Roundtable Session: Participatory Action Research to Address Inequities and Misconceptions in Student Learning

Abstract

Facing the hybrid educational landscapes in the 21st century, initial teacher education is not only to develop pedagogical knowledge and skills but also foster critical reflection among prospective teachers. Photovoice is a participatory research strategy empowering prospective teachers to voice their own thinking and develop critical consciousness through photography. A group of 19 prospective teachers took part in a Photovoice research for helping prospective teachers reflect upon their perceptions of the realities, convey concerns, construct and reflect upon their action plans for personal development. This paper will present the findings of the first cycle of the Photovoice research, implications of using Photovoice for teacher education and will include a gallery walk of students’ photos and narrative accounts in the study.
