Developing Visual Literacy Double-click to enter subtitle

How often do you think about your students’ understanding of the visuals when you are teaching? Type in the chat.

5 David Hyerle (2009) “Visual tools are a breakthrough in education and not just another tool on the sagging tool belt of endless and uncoordinated ‘best practices’ for teachers.” David Hyerle (2009) “Neuroscience research tells us that the brain has dynamic spatial architecture that networks and maps information.” Pat Wolfe (2009)

Using the Right Visual Tool Photographs Charts, graphs, diagrams Student Constructed Visual Thinking Tools - Three dimensional graphic organizers - Graphic organizers - Science notebooks 6

Poll Question Have you ever used ‘foldables’ before? ✔ ✖ ✔ Yes ✖ No

8 Foldables – three-dimensional, interactive, student-made graphic organizers Reading Tool – give students way of organizing information in a fun and creative way Study Tool – provide way for students to self-check their understanding or to use as reference guides Assessment Tool – provide way for teachers to diagnose misconceptions, monitor comprehension, assess understanding Foldables

Let’s pause for questions from the audience.

10 Let’s Fire Up Your Neurons! Before you observe the next picture number your paper from 1-6 As you see the visual write down what you think it is

Let’s see how well you did.

Let’s pause for questions from the audience.

List some of the skills you think a visually literate person should possess. Type your answer in the chat.

A visually literate person should be able to… ► Interpret, understand and appreciate the meaning of visuals ► Communicate more effectively by applying concepts of visual design ► Produce visual messages using computers and other technologies ► Use visual thinking to conceptualize solutions to problems - International Visual Literacy Association Developing Visual Literacy

Humans see an average of 36,000 images every hour Deep Viewing Method Deep Viewing Method: “a systematic process for analyzing, understanding, and interacting with visual information.” Pailliotet (1997)

EYES SEE BRAIN PROCESSES OBSERVATIONSINFERENCESEMOTIONS What I Know What I Think What I Feel SEE - SCAN - ANALYZE Deep Viewing Method: “a systematic process for analyzing, understanding, and interacting with visual information.” Pailliotet (1997) Developing Visual Literacy

Make 3 section foldable and label: See – Scan – Analyze Inside label: Observations – Inferences – Emotions Analyze image and record ideas on foldable Share ideas in the chat.

Your eyes read and then your mind processes in order to “make meaning.”

The brain works in two ways: rote memory, which we may remember for Friday’s test associate new learning with something already known or experienced

The Brain is a sieve! 99% of information is discarded immediately!

36 If students tag or link new learning... Then they will remember it because they’re adding to their knowledge base.

When students activate and use their prior knowledge then they will make the necessary connections between what they know and the new information.

Let’s pause for questions from the audience.

Labeled Diagram

44 According to research on the dual- coding theory of information, information is stored in two ways - linguistic – “words and phrases” - nonlinguistic – “mental pictures”

Therefore it is necessary for [students] to consciously “chunk” information together, in other words they must “recompose” the information, otherwise the working memory will become overloaded and the information will be lost. David Hyerle (2004)

Let’s pause for questions from the audience.

How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School I. I. Develop a deep foundation of factual knowledge II. II. Understand facts and ideas in the context of a framework, and III. III. Organize knowledge in ways that facilitate, retrieval and application. Bransford, Brown, and Cocking (2000), p. 16

Visual learning can foster the obtainment of knowledge that students may not get from verbal text alone (Mayer et. al., 1996) Why teach visual literacy? ► Critical aspect of instruction ► Establishes mental pattern for learning ► Help students to access, analyze, communicate Developing Visual Literacy

Making the Learning Interactive – Student Created Thinking Tools The construction of thinking tools helps the brain to actively organize information “…explicit engagement of students in the creation on non-linguistic representations stimulated and increased the activity in their brains.” - Gerlic & Jausovec (1999) Developing Visual Literacy

Making the Learning Interactive – Thinking Tools Graphic Organizers Developing Visual Literacy

Making the Learning Interactive – Thinking Tools Concept Maps Developing Visual Literacy

Charts, Graphs, Diagrams Macro to Micro Views

Different features of illustrations affect the comprehension of the message transmitted by the image. - use of color - use and placement of arrows - mix of real and symbolic entities - highlighting of words or parts of image - integration of multiple images into one visual Pinto & Ametller (2002) Developing Visual Literacy

Simple Diagrams - labeled drawings (pictures with labels)

Dotted line inset Simple Diagrams - labeled drawings (pictures with labels) Developing Visual Literacy

Synthetic Diagrams - connect parts together via arrows or numbers Developing Visual Literacy

Making the Learning Interactive – Student Created Thinking Tools

“A poorly designed image may transmit a wrong idea and at the same time a lack of knowledge of the visual language may hinder the interpretation of the image.” “Misuse of the visual language can affect the communication of the concepts intended to be represented by the image.” Pinto & Ametller (2002) Developing Visual Literacy

Do alligators really undergo metamorphosis ? Developing Visual Literacy

Let’s pause for questions from the audience.

Importance of Developing Visual Literacy ► Growing emphasis on the ‘must have’ skills Emphasis on what students can do with knowledge, rather than what units of knowledge they have ► Global economy with multiple languages Greater emphasis on using visuals to convey information, ideas, and complex concepts than words ► Reflects today’s multimedia environment Increased access to and use of technology as the vehicle for information delivery Developing Visual Literacy
