Abstract

The article refers to one of the potential action paths for educating teachers and refers to the possibility of using applied research in the process of identifying social problems by students. It is an attempt to answer the questions about how to prepare university graduates to recognize in their professional work completely new situations and to solve the previously unknown dilemmas resulting from the rapid development of civilization. The structure of the presented study reflects successive stages of searching for possibilities to solve the methodological problem outlined above. The first part covers the basic assumptions of visual ethnography with particular emphasis on photo-ethnography and the foundations of Yjro Engeström's theory of expansive learning, on which the idea of action was based. The second part outlines the scheme of the basic activity, with particular attention paid to the subject of the activity, which uses elements of visual ethnography as a way to change the activity and use the potential of both entities (teacher and students) participating in it.
