Abstract :
This research explores the research method of photo elicitation, where participants take photos that are later used to promote conversation in interviews and focus groups, as both a research and a pedagogical tool in an engineering education context. Different methodological implementations are investigated as research methods, and its potential use as a pedagogical tool to promote active group learning in the classroom is explored. Findings from a preliminary analysis are discussed, in addition to opportunities for future research.
