Photography - Educational Medium And Research Perspective

Abstract

With a view to the "multiliteracies" concept, the potential of photography as an educational medium is seen in the deceleration and intensification of perception. Receptive work with photos and especially active photography opens up basic forms of photo-didactic work not only in project teaching, but especially in subject teaching. In the last part of the article, different contexts of interpretation for photos are identified, the knowledge of which opens up a multi-perspective view of children's and young people's photos and could become a developmental task of pedagogical professionalism.
