Abstract

Photovoice is a participatory action-research methodology that uses photographs and other resources produced by the participants to promote reflection and improvement regarding issues related to their
own needs and their community. This article constitutes a first approach towards the reflection on the role that Photovoice might play in the promotion of inclusive practices. Based on its development in a
study carried out in six schools of Primary and Secondary Education located in a Galician village, this methodology is described and its value is analyzed not only as a research strategy but also as a didactic
strategy which leads to create and develop processes and educational materials designed for all and with the participation of all. The analysis reveals that in Photovoice there are conceptual, epistemological, ethical and practical issues that converge in a clear way with the principles and approaches of Inclusive Education. This allows us to rethink Photovoice as a participatory methodology with a remarkable inclusive character suitable both for research and learning processes.
