NorskAbstract
The article deals with what it implies to learn to do photography well and uses this as a vantage point to discuss the relationship between sensemaking and the acquisition of knowledge and skills. The article builds from the relationship between photography as a technique and as critical understanding; the relationship between images and society, and how these relationships have changed in recent times. Considering the teacher's role, we discuss the relationship between art and teaching, as well as between the teacher's pedagogic and subject-specific knowledge and skills alike. Further, we present the steps in a teaching practice that is intended to create interplay between understanding of images and photographic technique, and we use this for a discussion of the linkages between sensemaking and the acquisition of knowledge and skills in the classroom, as well as which prerequisites must be present in the teaching.
