Camps, Nuria – Online Submission, 2020
The use of visual metaphors has received growing attention in recent years, but their widespread use is not without certain challenges. The most common critique of visual metaphors in teaching indicates that they can be misleading as the meaning attributed by the recipient can be far apart from the intended one. This can make learning less…

Kim, Thomas; Wright, L. Kate; Miller, Kathryn – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2019
Students in chemistry often demonstrate difficulty with the principle of resonance. Despite many attempts to mitigate this difficulty, there have been few attempts to examine the root cause of these issues. In this study, students were assessed for their perception of Kekule structures based on perceptual learning theory, which is grounded in…

dos Santos, Vanessa J. S. V.; Galembeck, Eduardo – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2015
We have developed a metabolic pathways visualization skill test (MPVST) to gain greater insight into our students' abilities to comprehend the visual information presented in metabolic pathways diagrams. The test is able to discriminate students' visualization ability with respect to six specific visualization skills that we identified as key to…

Twissell, Adrian – Educational Technology & Society, 2014
This literature review explores visualisation within the context of learning in design, engineering and technology education. The investigation first defines visualisation, providing examples of activities that utilise visualisation skills within an applied field. Then exploration of the mental mechanisms of visualisation used to engage with those…

Lowrie, Tom – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2002
Explores ways in which 6-year-old children make sense of screen-based images on the computer. Uses both static and relatively dynamic software programs in the investigation. Suggests that young children should be exposed to activities that establish explicit links between 2D and 3D objects away from the computer before attempting difficult links…

Hershkowitz, Rina – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1989
Examines the role of visualization within the process of geometrical concept attainment for students in grades five through eight, preservice elementary teachers, and inservice senior elementary teachers. Investigates the "bitrian" and "biquad" examples, numbers of critical attributes, elements in triangles, judgment in quadrilateral examples, and…

Ekstrom, Ruth B.; And Others – 1975
This report is part of a general study of Reference Measures for Cognitive and Noncognitive Factors. The main activity being reported is the development of "factor-referenced" or "marker" tests for several recently identified cognitive factors. A secondary activity involves the study of possible relationships to factors already…

Hershkowitz, Rina; Markovits, Zvia – Arithmetic Teacher, 1992
Describes the Agam program, a 36-unit curriculum program to introduce students to basic visual concepts and that applies visual abilities and visual thinking to learning tasks. Describes two units at the third grade level, "Ratio and Proportion" and "Numerical Intuition," and makes observations of the students' learning. (MDH)
