This chapter focuses on the use of visual methods within qualitative sport research. The growth of visual methods within qualitative research is explored first, before turning to consider its applications and advantages. Three different types of visual methods are then introduced and considered in greater detail, spanning found visual materials, research-produced visual resources and finally participant-produced visual data. A brief discussion is also offered, distinguishing between the research approaches of PhotoVoice and photo-elicitation. The chapter concludes with a researcher vignette, offering an applied example of using visual methods within a qualitative PhD sport research project focusing on the London 2012 Olympics and suggestions for helpful further reading for any students considering the use of visual methods within their own research projects.

This chapter explores the use of visual methods in learning and teaching. This is achieved first by examining appropriate learning and teaching models and providing examples of how such methods can be incorporated into the curriculum. The chapter considers how the most rewarding and fruitful environment can be created, along with points for consideration when implementing visual methods. Despite a growing interest in visual methods within social science research, consideration must be given to how this can be translated into meaningful classroom activities. After having typically been taught a number of qualitative approaches and techniques, students would benefit greatly from the incorporation of visual methods into the curriculum. When introducing visual methods into curricula, a key consideration must be how this work should be assessed. Owing to the great deal of emphasis placed on assessment by students, how such assessments are designed, implemented and marked is worthy of deliberation.

There is a long history of visual methods in social science research although the application of visual methods in health research is more recent. The visual offers researchers a fundamental source of information and we rely on it to observe, inquire into, document and represent the workings of the social world. Technological change and the advent of the smart phone have enabled almost anyone to make use of the visual yet the expanding social use of visual imagery does not make everyone a visual researcher. Visual methods require that researchers have a researchable question and a coherent set of practices for interpreting and analyzing the visual. There are many types of visual methods that employ participant and researcher generated images and health researchers are increasingly making use of them as a supplement to, or replacement for, more traditional approaches. This is the case across all phases of research, from conceptualization to dissemination. The benefits of visual methods include increased richness of data and the ability to stimulate participants to contribute in nonverbal ways. There are also ethical challenges that include the elevated importance of informed consent and steps to protect participants’ identity. Visual researchers are attentive to these concerns and actively involved in identifying ethical guidelines to inform their work.

Abstract Visual research methods in social science exemplify the view that valid and unique insights into culture and society can be acquired by carefully observing, analyzing, and theorizing its visual dimensions and manifestations: the visible behavior of people and aspects of material culture. This array of methods ranges from analyzing existing or “found” visual data from a variety of sources to the production of visual materials by the researcher (as intermediate data or as end products to communicate results). However, visual methods also include approaches that try to more actively involve the field under study through using visual materials in interview situations to trigger partly unanticipated factual information and projective comments (visual elicitation), or to prompt the subjects of research to become producers of their own visual data and views (respondent‐generated visuals) for scholarly or activist purposes. Visual approaches in social science do not just provide tools to collect or produce visual data but also embody opportunities to communicate insight into culture and society in novel ways (through data visualizations, visual essays, films, and multimedia products).
