ABSTRACT

Despite the popularity of student voice initiatives, there is ample evidence that they fail to challenge power relations at school or help marginalized students make their voices heard. This paper presents a student voice project based on the Photovoice method. The project was implemented with marginalized youth in an urban high school in Israel. Findings show that students experienced significant improvement in their self-confidence and self-esteem and in their ability to engage in dialogue with the school administration in a way that altered their school life, yet they remained skeptical regarding their ability to change power relations at school.

摘要

尽管学生发声倡议很受欢迎，但有充分的证据表明，他们未能挑战学校的权力关系或帮助边缘化学生发出自己的声音。本文介绍了一个基于 Photovoice 方法的学生语音项目。该项目是针对以色列一所城市高中的边缘化青年实施的。调查结果表明，学生的自信心和自尊心以及以改变学校生活的方式与学校行政部门进行对话的能力都有显着提高，但他们仍然对自己改变学校权力关系的能力持怀疑态度.
