Lets first take a look at my experiences as a student learning.When i was high school, my teacher examined variety types of digital literacy strategist which one is decoding/encoding. My teacher who is biology instructor showed us some visual things when he was teaching photosynthesis. That visual things are watching video or displaying some pictures about photosynthesis. That was pretty effective for us in class. That is why, visual things always take attention from students.
Today's students read,understand, create and analyze easily whatever they see. So did i when i was in high school.Actually, these visual things promoted my critical view activities.My instructor encouraged us to consider students' visual learning styles in selecting material.He simplified complex concept of subject.While he was doing these things, he used printed materials,computer screens, PowerPoint slides.He used these guidelines.
As you mentioned,Selime, I think that encoding and decoding is an important part of education ,especially while creating or seeing visual content. In my opinion, Ä°n every course ,every instructor should use visual materials in order to match student idea.By doing this ,they will imagine and match by encoding /decoding . This will help them remember and store information for a long time
ReplyDeleteI think, visual things are the most best way to encode or devode some information. But, in Turkey's education system, most teacher dont use them, It should be changed.
