Amplifying Children's Voices within Photovoice: Emerging Inclusive Education Practices in Indonesia
Bonati, Michelle L.; Andriana, Elga
British Journal of Learning Disabilities, v49 n4 p409-423 Dec 2021
Background: Inclusive education is a recent phenomenon in Indonesia. Students with learning disabilities have been historically and currently marginalised within most schools and communities, with limited opportunities for social inclusion. Methods: Photovoice, a qualitative, participatory methodology was implemented to engage 31 students with learning disabilities and without disabilities in projects connected with their school curricula that focused on the overarching themes of social inclusion, belonging and community. The students served as co-researchers, which involved taking photographs and thematically analysing them during individual interviews and during group discussions. The project culminated with a public photo exhibition and presentations by the students. Data collection occurred over 6 weeks, in two schools in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and further cross-case analysis of the data was conducted by the authors. The research question examined was as follows: How do students with and without disabilities perceive social inclusion, belonging and their community during a photovoice project in Indonesia? Findings: Three themes emerged in response to the research question focused on the overarching topics of social inclusion, belonging and community. These themes included: (1) Inclusive Characters, (2) Cultural and Civic Engagement in the Community, and (3) Self-Determination. Conclusions: Photovoice methodology can provide a pedagogical tool within inclusive education practices. Photovoice also provided opportunities to amplify the voices of students with learning disabilities to express their experiences and perspectives of social inclusion in their schools and communities. Students with and without disabilities also developed a sense of agency to transform the communities in which they belong.
