weekend workshop. An autoethnographic approach to recording data about the students’
learning and my experience as their teacher was used in the research. Data was recorded
as journal notes during and after each workshop from my experiences as their teacher and
analyzed according to a grounded theory based on open coding. The workshop was open
for registration of up to 25 home schooled students of any race, male or female, from the
ages of 10 – 17. While the research reports a successful change in students’ appreciation
of photography as a result of the workshop, parental values proved to be both an obstacle
and area of potential future research.
