Abstract
Photovoice is a participatory research method that asks participants to answer prompts using photography (Holm, 2008). 11 diverse middle school students participated in a photovoice project aimed at understanding their learning environment and how they saw themselves as learners. This study explored how photovoice can be used to understand learners and engage students in their learning. Implications for practice and tips for using photovoice will be discussed.
