Lesson 13:Teaching with Visual Symbols

 

 Further more,visual symbols includes drawings, diagrams, formulas, chart, graphs, maps or globe.
With the help of these materials, it would easy for the teacher to explain briefly the lesson. Students would have a hard time to understand the lesson if the teacher would only talks something which is invisible, let say for an example. The lesson is about the parts of the tree, how would the students understand and see the parts if the teacher would simply talk in front, it's better to use drawings for the students to understand and determine the parts. If the subject is about economics, the teacher should use graphs for her to be able to explain the standing or the result of 5 companies competing when it comes to the income. With the use of graphs, students would be able to understand the lesson and would have an idea on what is happening in the economy. In mathematics, students cannot solve a problem if there's no formulas on how to solve it, so it is very important to use formulas especially in mathematics. If the teacher would talk about continents without the use of maps and globes, the tendency would be the students will find the subject very boring, but with the use of maps, it would be interesting to listen because students would see how big the continent is and be able to wider their imagination on that place.
Chapter 13 is just the same as saying " It's hard to trust,to love and appreciate the person you did not see"
It's hard to understand, to love and appreciate the lesson if it is hanging, hanging in the sense that the teacher doesn't use any teaching visual symbols which is necessary in a classroom discussion.
