Look What I Found out! Research on Teaching and Learning Using Visual Methods
Wednesday, 13 July 2016: 10:45-12:15
Location: Hörsaal 13 (Juridicum)
WG03 Visual Sociology (host committee) Language: English
This regular session focuses on teaching and learning using visual methods. Visual methods have been used both as a method in education research and as teaching methods or tools in education (e.g. Harkness and Stallworth, 2013; Prosser, 2007).
According to Biesta (2010), good education requires a balance between three overlapping functions: qualification, socialization, and subjectification. Qualification lies in providing pupils/students with the knowledge, skills and understandings that allow them to “do something”. Socialization refers to the ways in which through education, we become part of particular social, cultural and political “orders.” Subjectification might be considered as the opposite of socialization: it is the process of becoming a subject, of becoming a unique person and is therefore about autonomy, independence, freedom, and emancipation.
Inspired by this perspective, this session welcomes (case) studies that discuss visual methods in the context of education. Key themes can be for example:
- Visual methods that are used in research on teaching and learning; how these methods affect relationships (e.g. between pupils/students, the teacher/school setting and researchers); how these methods affect the research process and results.
- Visual methods that are used in education; how these methods affect relationships, the educational setting, learning and teaching processes and learning results.
- Visual methods in education and how they relate to qualification, socialization and subjectification.
