“…There is some evidence that visual methods, for example, may be less intimidating for research participants than conventional interview methods (Castleden et al, 2008), but there are also examples where participants reported that technologies associated with some arts-based methods were indeed experienced as intimidating (Burns et al, 2020). Commonly, though, it seems that it is simply assumed that such methods are less intimidating and easier for research participants or increase empathy between researchers and those being researched (Chamberlain et al, 2018; Wass et al, 2019).…”

Moving Beyond Text-and-Talk in Qualitative Health Research: Methodological Considerations of Using Multiple Media for Data Collection

Qualitative researchers are increasingly making use of multiple media to collect data within a single study. Such approaches may have the potential to generate rich insights; however, there are also potential methodological challenges in simultaneously analyzing data from multiple media. Using three case studies from our work with women who had recurrent breast cancer in South Africa, we explore four challenges of using multiple media to collect data: (a) how to understand the repetition of themes (or lack thereof) across multiple media; (b) whether or not data collected from multiple media over a protracted period should be read as longitudinal data reflecting a dynamic process; (c) what impact using multiple media has on the participant–researcher relationship; and (d) how the medium may shape the data obtained. We propose that the value of using multiple methods lies in the opportunity they provide to understand how participants engage with the different media.

“…-An interactive process for learning about research and data analysis -The creation of a longitudinal student specific dataset of images and text -An active and experiential tool for learning skills in data generation, management and analysis Schell, Ferguson, Hamoline, Shea and Thomas-MacLean's (2009) work on photovoice as a teaching tool inspired the design of the Virtual Shoe Salon as a teaching method. In higher education photovoice has been used by students to capture their emotions and thoughts about a phenomenon through the lens of the photographs that they have taken (Wass, Anderson, Rabello, Golding, Rangi & Eteuati, 2019). Like the traditions of photovoice our students have taken photographs of their shoes through which they can share their emotions and experiences of everyday life.…”

The push towards creative and active learning in higher education has gained momentum in recent years, creating opportunities for innovative, student focused approaches. The Covid-19 pandemic shifted the educational landscape to the online world, propelling the need to create compelling learning activities for students. While also fostering a sense of community and facilitating both peer relationships and peer learning. This paper presents the development and initial implementation of an innovative teaching tool, The Virtual Shoe Salon, which is based on creative pedagogies and experiential learning. The Virtual Shoe Salon has been implemented to embed stronger skills in research and data analysis within the curriculum of our fashion business courses. As a teaching method it can embrace both online and face to face environments. Drawing from a theoretical foundation of material culture, combined with an adaptation of the photovoice research approach, this salon takes the ordinary, but expressive objects of shoes to engage students in research and analysis through collaboration, conversation and peer to peer learning. The paper presents the rationale for the Virtual Shoe Salon, and findings from its implementation with 250 students. Subsequent evaluation and reflection with both students and staff have evidenced the positive role of the Virtual Shoe Salon in facilitating active and collaborative learning around research and data analysis. While it has actively encouraged a dynamic and collaborative learning environment, the Virtual Shoe Salon has initiated a shared space underpinned by the sense of community and belonging for students that Covid-19 had eroded .

“…For these reasons, this paper aims to explore the concerns and expectations of parents towards online learning which hereafter focuses on online English language learning (OELL) program for primary school students. To enrich results of qualitative research in TEFL, methods other than group or individual, structured and semi structured or open interviews (Wass et al, 2020) were employed. Through visual methodologies like photovoice, parents were presented with the opportunities to reflectively and actively voice their perspectives, experiences and aspirations to what counts as education during this pandemic.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant changes to the education sector. The shift from classroom-based conventional learning to virtual mode means that the study from home policy appears to place responsibilities of students learning on parents. By focusing on primary level education, we explored parents’ voices and aspirations in assisting their children in taking online English language classes. As most of the parents have been overwhelmed, we offer some insights regarding how to mitigate the problems. Using photovoice, fifteen parents whose children were learning English language in primary schools were invited to take the photographs from the online English language learning (OELL) program and discussed the photographs. We used Photovoice in the project to capture parents’ concerns over the program and their relationship with the pandemic. Thematic analysis was used as a tool to generate important themes from the photovoice data. While appreciating the program, our respondents highlighted the obstacles and concerns over the online English learning through their photographs. In this article, we demonstrated, that photovoice not only offered a space to explore parents’ experiences in engaging in their children’s OELL program, but also served as a space for parents’ aspirations in disrupting and influencing educational programs and reforms.
