Abstract

Improving teaching practices in higher education requires an understanding of the impact of pedagogical innovations in student learning through the analysis of the theoretical implications and the articulation of creativity, motivation and learning. This article describes a pedagogical experience that integrates the use of Photovoice, a strategy originally designed to combine photography with digital narration and social participation. This experience was implemented in an online master's course for educators at a southern university in the United States. The use of Photovoice allowed students to explore issues of equity, social justice and education through digital images as the mediating element to support the learning process and the representation of meanings. From a teacher education perspective, this project aims at modeling alternative and innovative forms of teaching and learning, integrating technologies that are part of the students' everyday world.

Resumo: Melhorar as práticas de ensino na Educação Superior requer uma compreensão do impacto das inovações pedagógicas na aprendizagem dos estudantes, analisando as implicações teóricas e a relação entre criatividade, motivação e aprendizado. Este artigo descreve uma experiência pedagógica que integra o Photovoice, uma estratégia originalmente projetada para combinar fotografia com narração digital e participação social. Essa experiência ocorreu em um curso de mestrado online para educadores, de uma universidade no sul dos Estados Unidos. O uso do Photovoice permitiu aos alunos explorar questões de equidade, justiça social e educação através de imagens digitais como elemento mediador da aprendizagem e representação de significados. Do ponto de vista da formação de professores, esse projeto buscou modelar formas alternativas de ensino e aprendizagem, integrando as várias tecnologias que fazem parte do mundo cotidiano dos estudantes.
