Abstract Photovoice, a Participatory Action Research method developed by Wang and Burris, has gained popularity as a pedagogical tool to engage youth with environmental, sustainability, and conservation issues. Influenced by Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy, feminist theory, and documentary photography, photovoice supports reflection about place, critical dialogue about community issues, and social change by reaching policymakers. Some scholars have modified the method and applied varying frameworks to increase relevance for diverse participants. However, adaptation also may lose the original tenets. Through a scoping review, this study examined methodological applications to science, conservation, and sustainability education and whether emerging approaches align with Wang and Burris’ original goals. The scoping review identified and analyzed four applications of photovoice: i) place as pedagogy, ii) conservation and sustainability, iii) STEM teaching; and iv) decolonizing education. Current scholarship shows promise for photovoice in environmental education applications to support participatory, diverse, and equitable educational settings, but some projects would benefit from more explicit attention to the original emancipatory intents of the method.

环境、可持续性和保护环境中的语音应用审查：该方法是否保持其解放意图？

摘要 Photovoice 是由 Wang 和 Burris 开发的一种参与式行动研究方法，作为一种让青年参与环境、可持续性和保护问题的教学工具而广受欢迎。受 Paulo Freire 批判教学法、女权主义理论和纪实摄影的影响，photovoice 通过接触政策制定者来支持对地方的反思、对社区问题的批判性对话和社会变革。一些学者修改了方法并应用了不同的框架来增加不同参与者的相关性。然而，改编也可能失去原有的信条。通过范围审查，本研究检查了方法论在科学、保护和可持续性教育中的应用，以及新兴方法是否符合 Wang 和 Burris 的最初目标。范围界定审查确定并分析了光声的四种应用：i) 场所作为教学法，ii) 保护和可持续性，iii) STEM 教学；iv) 非殖民化教育。当前的奖学金显示出环境教育应用中的 photovoice 有望支持参与性、多样化和公平的教育环境，但一些项目将从更明确地关注该方法的原始解放意图中受益。
