Talk:Visual learning

Removed section
I removed the text below, because it is an essay-like discussion on learning styles and not text on specifically visual learning. Lova Falk    talk   06:51, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

F.A.P Influential management and systems thinker pioneer Russel Ackoff suggested that the most important contribution of a first rate 21st century education is not content, but that students acquire the capability to learn and are motivated to do so throughout our lives. In the developed world today, falling global competitiveness is blamed on education [Karen Ward HSBC:2011 ]. Schools and universities have tried and tested auditory sequential systems that no longer seem designed for the modern world and are instead relics of the 19th century [Ackoff].

Early pioneers in education attempted to use psychology to improve society. The hypothesis was that by figuring out the methods by which individuals learn best, educators could design materials to help students internalize, reflect, boil down, apply and synthesize information from many, many different sources over extended time frames.

Although learning styles have "enormous popularity" and both children and adults express personal preferences, there is no evidence that identifying a student's learning style produces better outcomes, and there is significant evidence that the widespread "meshing hypothesis" (that a student will learn best if taught in a method deemed appropriate for the student's learning style) is invalid. Well-designed studies "flatly contradict the popular meshing hypothesis".

However, that "flat contradiction" fails because the studies confuse practice and theory; for deep background see [Linda Silverman, Thomas G West, Stephen Heppel]. The popular meshing hypothesis as implemented by the study designers is much too simplistic in both application and conception. If learning styles are to become a true science of attention proper screening has to be introduced, differentiated materials need to be prepared and communicated in multiple mediums so the learning channels are overlapped in the correct order. In short, a scientific approach is needed.

 * 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 [1]

hm.. and the article says 3? Gryllida (talk) 08:02, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Visual Learning.
It was an excellent article, but I highly recommend to have some experiment that shows what types of visual images more affect people's brain. I want to know more about how adults got an influenced by watching images rather than doing the other way to learn information. I also recommend putting in some negative effect of learning through the visual organ. Information about the early childhood visual learning was a good enough, but I think the middle child visual learning was weak to provide an enough information to readers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.62.206.2 (talk) 00:48, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Add Navboxes
I propose we add the following Navboxes to the right sidebar:

1) Neuropsychology 2) Psychology — Preceding unsigned comment added by This-is-name (talk • contribs) 19:00, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
