“…Additionally, we suggest that the SHOWED technique be combined with projective techniques to reveal feelings, beliefs, attitudes, and thoughts that many undergraduates may find difficult to articulate in relation to learning. (Roos, Maine, & Khumalo, 2008, 2012) developed an expressive projective technique called the Mmogo-Method™ to access, in a culturally sensitive manner, the dynamic interactions between people in relation to their community. The Mmogo-Method has proven effective with both undergraduate and postgraduate students (Roos, Maine, & Khumalo, 2008; Ross & Strong, 2010).…”

Visual methods are not new within education research field, but they are certainly an innovative approach, especially in higher education where students' voice is understood as a central need. In this positional article, the authors intend to accomplish two key objectives. First, the article aims to emphasize that visual method, especially photovoice, can be enriching for studying the ways students engage in learning activities and support authentic conversations about how learning takes place and what students are thinking about this process (metacognition). The second objective is to set theoretical and methodological grounds to apply visually based methods such as photovoice and bubble dialogue in education research, particularly in learning research area. The considerations regarding specific methodological aspects are based on the discussion of a study conducted by using photovoice methodology. The authors suggest that participatory analysis and particularly interpretative phenomenological analysis are appropriate to complete the process of data analysis. The article, therefore, contributes to expanding knowledge about specific visual methods and set the ground for methodological innovation in learning research.

The author describes the Mmogo-method TM , a visual projective research data-gathering method, as well as its use in two case studies. Visual presentations are made by using clay, straws, and beads, which serve as visual data. The transcribed discussions on the meanings of the visual presentations are used as textual data. The textual and visual data are analyzed by exploring the face value of the data, uncovering the personal and collective meanings of the data through thematic content analysis, and determining the contextual groundedness of the data. In the case study on older persons' experiences of drought, the personal feelings of hopelessness and depletedness are embedded in the sociopolitical context that contributed to the vulnerable economic position of older black people. The case study on the experiences of older persons infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS revealed personal experiences of stigmatisation and exclusion grounded in a sociopolitical context that contributed to the uncontrollable ramifications of the disease.
