Visual learning is a teaching and learning style in which ideas, concepts, data, and other information are associated with images and techniques. It is one of the three basic types of learning styles in the widely used 〔Leite, Walter L.; Svinicki, Marilla; and Shi, Yuying: Attempted Validation of the Scores of the VARK: Learning Styles Inventory With Multitrait–Multimethod Confirmatory Factor Analysis Models, pg. 2. SAGE Publications, 2009.〕 Fleming VAK/VARK model that also includes kinesthetic learning and auditory learning. ==Visual learning techniques== Graphic organizers are visual representations of knowledge, concepts, thoughts, or ideas. To show the relationships between the parts, the symbols are linked with each other; words can be used to further clarify meaning. By representing information spatially and with images, students are able to focus on meaning, reorganize and group similar ideas easily, make better use of their visual memory. A review study concluded that using graphic organizers improves student performance in the following areas:〔 Graphic Organizers: A Review of Scientifically Based Research, The Institute for the Advancement of Research in Education at AEL ()〕 ; Retention : Students remember information better and can better recall it when it is represented and learned both visually and verbally.〔 ; Reading comprehension : The use of graphic organizers helps improving the reading comprehension of students.〔 ; Student achievement : Students with and without learning disabilities improve achievement across content areas and grade levels.〔 ; Thinking and learning skills; critical thinking : When students develop and use a graphic organizer their higher order thinking and critical thinking skills are enhanced.〔 Visualizing data - When working with data, students build data literacy as they collect and explore information in a dynamic inquiry process, using tables and plots to visually investigate, manipulate and analyze data. As students explore the way data moves through various plot types, such as Venn, stack, pie and axis, they formulate pathways that link visual images to areas that store knowledge in the brain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Visual learning」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
