ABSTRACT
In this study, a photovoice study is conducted to examine the meaning of ‘time’ that university students think. The photovoice research method modified the procedure presented by Latz(2018) and went through the stages of identification, recruitment, edu-cation, recording, description, presentation, ideation, and confirmation. The research par-ticipants who participated in this study were university students at DUniversity located in Bcity, and 42 of the 80 participants who asked for consent for the study were finally se-lected participants through consent. In this study, data was collected from June to August 2021, and data analysis was conducted from September 2021 to March 2022, followed by data verification and a thesis writing period. As a result of this study, university students were asked about the meaning of time through five concepts: The present time like a gift that makes me feel, The time of accumulation accumulated one by one as the totality of experiences, The time of change that changes, The time of unstoppable flow, The time of blank space to be filled in the future. The results of this study provide basic data for under-standing the attitude of life beyond the meaning of time that university students think and suggest implications for university life and education that university students can experi-ence and spend time in a healthy way.
