ABSTRACT
This study designed an environmental education program for in-service geography teachers using
community mapping and photovoice methodology and applied it to in-service geography
teachers to derive results. In addition, the study explored the possibilities and implications of these
two participatory research techniques as pedagogical tools for geographical and environmental
education. In-service geography teachers confirmed that community mapping activities
combined with the photovoice methodology can support the development of the geographical
skills and spatial thinking about the environment of students. Moreover, they recognized that the
program is a useful pedagogical tool for connecting learners with geographical communities to
actively explore various geographical and environmental issues in the region, connecting them
inside and outside the classroom and reaching an in-depth understanding of geographical and
environmental issues through the production of knowledge that expresses their perspectives and
experiences. Furthermore, the program, which combines community mapping and photovoice,
can be an effective pedagogical tool for fostering community competence and active citizenship
in that participants actively participate in the community to create better community change.
