| Résumé : |
The autistic community is advocating the need to employ participatory research approaches to include autistic people's voices and reduce the impact of skewed power dynamics between researchers and participants. Hence, researchers adopt participant-driven research methodologies like photo-elicitation to develop collaborative research. However, limited knowledge exists regarding how individuals perceive their involvement in these research processes. This qualitative descriptive study explored the perspectives of sixteen middle-school students (N = 13 autistic students) as they participated in the Photovoice research process as data collectors. Students participated in interest-driven informal afterschool clubs and used Photovoice to document their problem-solving experiences. Through thematic analysis of semi-structured interview data, we learned that students appreciated the unique characteristics of the Polaroid cameras, including the ability to manipulate the cameras and touch the photos physically, the distinct sensory features that physical photos provided, creating memories with peers and using photos as a visual tool to support improvisation and brainstorming during problem-solving. The results of this study specifically highlight students’ views on the aspects they valued and those they found unfavorable as they participated in the research process. |
