    1. Tools for visual thinking: What does the research tell us? Catherine McLoughlin Krzysztof Krakowski The University of New England

    2. Aim to review the concepts of visual literacy and visual thinking to suggest a role for the learner in accessing, applying and using different forms of representation to look at ways in which technologies can enhance cognition, by fostering visual thinking

    3. Visual talent and verbal difficulty verbally related problems often coexist with special visual and spatial talent neurological development - displacement Einstein; Lewis Carroll; Leonardo da Vinci; W.B. Yeats

    4. Visual representations differ from text-based information consist of spatial, non-arbitrary and continuous images can represent temporary and causal relations between states can capture characteristics of complex events and concepts

    5. visual literacy- visual thinking VL is eclectic in origin visual competencies- normal human learning enables discrimination and interpretation of visible actions, words and symbols

    6. Visual literacy visual literacy can be defined as a group of skills which enable an individual to understand and use visuals for intentionally communicating with others (Debes, 1972).

    7. Several theories Howard Gardner (1993) :Theory of multiple intelligences Only if we expand and reformulate our view of what counts as human intellect will be be able to devise more appropriate ways of assessing it and more effective ways of educating it. (p.4).

    8. Multiple intelligences linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinaesthetic, personal spatial (visual intelligence) is a unique form of intellect, of equal importance to linguistic intelligence spatial and visual intelligence are the principal sources of problem solving

    10. Chemical visualisation tools Understanding chemical bonding See complex atomic interactions View rotate and measure molecules Modify and construct new molecules CHIME/RASMOL

    11. Cognitive pluralism critical role of signs and symbols in action and reflection thought and cognition are mediated by cognitive tools use of multiple cognitive resources facilitates problem solving

    12. Multiple intelligences or cognitive pluralism? some common ground ; thinking does not consist only of propositions language is regarded as only one part of the human representational system humans play an active role in using and transforming cultural tools and signs

    13. Implications for practice all knowledge is constructed: all learning is a process of construction many world views can be constructed, so there will be multiple perspectives knowledge is context dependent learning is mediated by tools and signs learning is an inherently social

    14. visual literacy pluralistic theoretical basis of the term can mean different things depending on ones viewpoint Visual literacy- the ability to both understand and make visual statements- we become sensitised to the world around us, the relationships and systems of which we are a part

    15. multimedia technology: instructional advantages more visual cues: colour, icons, animation reduces cognitive load so that higher order processes can be supported can characterise different aspects of knowledge and make it more explorable students can construct mental models

    16. Visual literacy operationalised VL can be operationalised in terms of visual learning, thinking and communication visual thinking: manipulation of mental imagery visual learning: learning from visuals visual communication: using visual symbols to convey meaning

    17. Visualisation

    18. Continuum of visual literacy

    19. Visualisation in learning prestige of non-verbal approaches have eclipsed earlier methods of learning by apprenticeship visual-spatial approaches to learning are rare conventional education systems are weighted towards verbal and numerical approaches to acquiring information

    20. New visualisation tools ? highly visual learning environments greater emphasis on visual representation and analysis; more emphasis on intuitive, interactive learning computers and people working together: partners in cognition multiple approaches - multiple solutions

    21. Impact of technology on visualisation how do we visualise information for transmission to others? visualisation, because of the computer is emerging as a distinctive new discipline capacity of technology to show dynamic, visual representations and to represent temporal and causal relationships between states

    22. Lets go to UNE... http://online.une.edu.au http://www.covis.nwu.edu/

    23. Supporting visual thinking and learning represent concepts in a visible and changing way enable the learner to organise, integrate and interconnect new concepts with previous knowledge support multiple representational forms such as graphs, timelines/diagrams generate new interpretations through semantic mapping
