Seeing Through the Lens: A Photovoice Approach to Deepening Teacher Reflection

This study proposed a photovoice-based approach for teacher reflection, integrating perspectives from both educators and students to enhance teaching-learning environments. Researchers (tutors) captured photos during lessons to identify and categorize teaching deficiencies and then reflected on them. Students contributed by sharing their perspectives on the photos, offering insights into their learning experiences. Comparing these viewpoints provides a holistic reflection that guides future teaching improvements and addresses authentic classroom issues happening in teaching. With the empowerment of students complementing teachers’ sole opinions of learning issues, teachers could further develop their professional identity through this interactive practice.
