Visual Information Presentation

Factors in Using Visual Information

  • Visual perception is enhanced through direct observation of demonstrations or teaching aids like films, videos, and television.
  • A teaching aid is defined as a structured apparatus designed to improve the quality of the image.

Qualitative Requirements of Demonstrations

  • Total Image: The demonstration should present a complete and coherent picture.
  • Possible Errors: Potential errors in the demonstration should be identified and corrected.
  • Speed: The speed of the demonstration must be appropriate for comprehension.
  • Opportunity to Participate: Learners should have the chance to actively engage and take part themselves.
  • Background: The background environment for the demonstration must be suitable and non-distracting.
  • Execution: The demonstration's execution must be correct and precise.
  • Use of Films and Videos: Films and videos can be used as effective teaching aids.

Quantitative Requirements of Demonstrations

  • The number of demonstrations required is determined by the complexity of the movement and the learners' prior experience.
  • The amount of visual information presented to the learner can be controlled by showing only specific components in subsequent demonstrations.
