Pedagogical Technology of Photovoice

Introduction

This study aims at evaluating the role of the Pedagogical Technology of

Photovoice in promoting Online Asynchronous Authentic Learning. In this study, we

will establish the significance of the Photovoice strategy in facilitating online

teaching programs. Particularly, the study aims at identifying how the Photovoice

technology can help pre-service teachers to teach in distance learning environments.

We will take a qualitative approach and will involve a review of the literature on the

topic of study. The lack of appropriate pedagogical strategies has been a major

challenge to the online teaching exercise. The available strategies seem to lack the

ability to encourage students to engage with the key concepts critically. The study

aims at addressing ways in which Pre-service teachers can use the Photovoice

strategy to enhance online teaching. Further, we will analyze relevant literature to

identify how the Photovoice strategy has been used in the past and its significance in

promoting students' participation in online learning. This pedagogical strategy has

been identified as one of the strategies that support authentic learning.

The information obtained from this study will be useful to institutions that

embrace online distance learning. The major aim of engaging online learning is to

allow students to access information and resources for their educational needs.

Therefore the value of knowledge given should be similar to that offered on face-to-

face teachings. The results of this study will help learning institutions curtail their

curriculum to suit the needs of online learners. At the end of this study, therefore, we

will present our findings to learning institutions and bodies that handle curriculum

development. We will present the findings and recommendations to help in

improving the educational experience for distance learners.

Authentic Learning

“Authentic learning is an instructional approach in education that enables learners to

explore, discuss and construct concepts in a meaningful manner (Herrington et al.,

2014).” According to Massengale et al. ( 2016)his approach allows learners to explore

concepts about real-life problems. Educators understand that learning is best done

through experience (Reyes-Foster, 2018). Learners benefit more when they learn by

doing rather than just observing and listening.

Authentic learning is an approach designed to relate what students learn with

real-life issues (Latz, 2017). The approach aims at enabling learners to relate and apply

what they are taught in solving the problem in their natural environment (Wass &

Safari, 2014). The experience of learning should reflect the ambiguities and

complexities of the real-life students are exposed to (Wame et al., 2013). Therefore, the

approach demands that any learning experience must instill authenticity into every

lesson and task so that students can have confidence in what they learn and develop

problem-solving abilities (Malka, 2020). In the authentic learning approach, educators

are expected to develop learners who can create meaning of what they learn.

Pedagogical Approaches to learning

Pedagogical content knowledge is a phenomenon that helps educators to combine

content and pedagogy effectively (Edwards et al., 2012). It is a modern approach to

learning in which educators make the subject understandable to the learners (Edwards

et al., 2012). Pedagogical approaches to learning include teaching approaches, generic

knowledge of how students learn, and an assessment of the knowledge obtained by

learners (Allmond, 2018). Content knowledge without pedagogy has less impact on the

lives of the learners. “Pedagogy is a method and practice of teaching that involves
