Photovoice as Evaluation Tool for Effective Teaching Method on the Basic Life Training

The “Learning by Teaching” method is an approach that necessitates the direct participation of students. On the other hand, photovoice has the potential to serve as a tool to depict students’ feelings while concurrently evaluating the success of implementing the “Learning by Teaching” method in the learning process. Objective: This study assesses the implementation of photovoice as an evaluation tool for effective Learning by Teaching Methods in Basic Life Support Training. Methods and Design: The study includes 40 research participants, comprising 20 anesthesia residents (students of specialty program) and 20 11th-semester medical students involved in a one-day community service event at Al-Hikmah Boarding School in Batu Malang. Residents were encouraged to capture photos with their mobile phones to document field phenomena they found most interesting and influential in their learning processes within the Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation. Results: Data analysis identifies several positive aspects obtained from learning through the Learning-by-teaching method, such as the importance of collaboration, valuable experiences, and maximum opportunities for discussion. Conclusion: Photovoice emerges as a suitable approach for evaluating the Learning by Teaching method within educational systems, as evidenced by the benefits and challenges observed in the context of Basic Life Support training, such as the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and a non-monotonous learning process.
