Participatory Filmmaking as a New Pedagogy: Enhancing Active Learning and Global Competence

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This study looks into the significance of practicing participatory filmmaking as a pedagogy for advancing active learning and global competence in the university classroom. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the data collection plan, which was originally developed in the first year of this project, had to be altered. Instead of carrying out fieldwork abroad, I attended international conferences online to present the findings based on the filmmaking project conducted in the previous year. After the travel restrictions were eased, I was able to fly to the United Kingdom in September 2022. I presented a paper introducing the practice of participatory filmmaking at the annual conference of the British Educational Research Association in Liverpool, and it was well accepted by the audience. In addition, the continuous collaboration with students in Kumamoto resulted in the production of a short film in January 2023.
