- Abstract
In Romania, students do not yet have a strong voice in the improvement of educational institutions. By using participatory action research and photovoice, this study aimed to give a voice to university students regarding the internal evaluation of teaching methods before and after the implementation of cooperative learning. The study is anchored to the empowerment education philosophical framework of Freire (1970). Six participants, students from one Bachelor ("licență") study program, went through the photovoice process. Data were collected through photos, questionnaires, and observations. The themes have been developed by the participants through a photo essay and have been analyzed together with the other data. The results showed the effectiveness of cooperative learning in comparison with the traditional teaching regarding students professional training. The policy makers decided to keep this photo exhibit as permanent. The recommendation is to have students evaluate yearly the university through action research and photovoice.
