Zooming in. Photography as a pedagogical story with a feminist perspective in the Education Degrees
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article is part of a teaching innovation project (2022-4-4001) developed in the 2022/2023 academic year in the second year of the Early Childhood Education and Primary Education Degrees within the subject of Diversity, Coexistence and Inclusive Education. Photography was used to narrate, reflect and improve the individual and collective teaching-learning process. From feminist paradigms together with the contributions of critical pedagogy, the objectives were (1) to understand a set of concepts linked to gender equality from a cross-curricular viewpoint and (2) to establish connections between this learning and previous experiences during the process of developing a project that combines Service-Learning (SL) methodology and photographic narration (photobooks). The activities are organized in two phases. The first one consists of a photography workshop focused on the use of photography as a pedagogical tool; and the second one in which the SL project that includes the photographic narration in photobooks was developed. The results confirm the benefits of placing the student as the protagonist of their learning process and questioning the dominant representations. To conclude, it is important to highlight the opportunity to combine SL and photographic narration as a tool for social transformation from feminist participation and reflection.
