{"abstract":"Understanding biodiversity goes beyond memorizing facts; it also requires seeing, experiencing, and making connections to the world around us. However, traditional teaching methods often fail to capture students’ interest and deepen their appreciation for biodiversity. Hence, this qualitative study employing an action research approach explored how photo-elicitation-based interactive activities can enhance Science 10 students’ learning experiences at San Jose National High School- Lapuz National High School Annex. By using real-life images of biodiversity, the study aimed to make learning more engaging and meaningful. The study was conducted among 48 students who participated in classroom observations, student reflection journals, and focused group discussions. Thematic analysis was applied to identify patterns in students’ understanding, experiences, and challenges. Findings revealed that photo-elicitation helped students develop a deeper understanding of biodiversity concepts, making learning more relatable and interactive. The visual approach made learning more engaging, sparking curiosity and encouraging active discussions. Many students found the approach enjoyable and thought-provoking, though some initially struggled with interpreting images. Over time, guided discussions helped them improve their analytical thinking and environmental awareness. More importantly, the study revealed a positive shift in students’ attitudes toward biodiversity conservation. Thus, it reinforced that photo-elicitation is a powerful tool for making biodiversity education more engaging and thought-provoking. It goes beyond memorization, allowing students to see biodiversity as something real and relevant.","abstract_source":"original","authors":["Arlyn Camandero","Christine Abo"],"date":"2025-05-20","doi":"10.70838/pemj.380307","id":5254,"issue":3,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"7abf910702f7282a94f5d6b3ab35c67daa2e380678dacbd0962741d0915b86f2","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Enhancing Science 10 Learning Through Photo Elicitation-Based Interactive Activities on Biodiversity","volume":38}
