Promoting learning through visual thinking

Abstract

Visual thinking is a way of thinking that focuses on stimulating brain processes by connecting images with language or information stored in memory and then conveying them to form a variety of drawings. The method of painting in the visual thinking strategies will not focus on the beauty but focusing on the meaning to be understood and emphasize the speed of drawing. The form of painting from visual thinking can be divided into 4 types, namely, symbolic writing (Symbol/Icon), diagramming (Diagram), drawing a metaphor (Analogy) and drawing a story (Scene). Visual thinking strategies can be combined with a variety of teaching methods, such as a constructivist teaching style, cooperative learning, etc. Teachers can develop learning materials by using visual thinking, such as a Visual Thinking Thai Learning Package, a Visual Thinking Package for Practicing Math Problem Solving Skills, etc. Therefore, projection thinking strategy is a method that can encourage learners to learn deeply and promote thinking as well.
