Visual learning
In the conventional term of visual learning , every learning process is supported by real images and real visual material. Both static pictures (single pictures) and dynamic picture sequences (picture series, animations or videos) are shown and internalized = learned.
In a more recent sense, visual learning also includes mental images. This definition expansion forms the basis for a different understanding of dyslexia (LRS) and dyscalculia . This has already been tried and tested many times in practice; a scientific investigation and recognition of this knowledge are still pending.
An introduction to visual learning / mental is the instruction to close your eyes and look inward. Now the pictures of what has already been learned are called up and viewed, to be copied, copied or corrected. In order to learn more, existing images, films, etc. are supplemented and rebuilt or completely redesigned.
The concept of the reminder strategy should therefore be added to the concept of the learning strategy . Pupils record and save the subject matter under comparable conditions, but remember it differently. In practice this means: They all store visually presented material in the same way visually. The "good" students, however, also remember the stored learning material (mentally) visually, the others usually (mentally) phonetically / auditory.
An example with spelling: A new word is presented in class both visually and phonetically / auditory, ie the pronunciation ('sound') is always added to the written word on the blackboard ('picture'). Both are learned. There are basically two possibilities for remembering : remembering based on the word image or based on the word sound . If a word is misspelled, you will find that the word can be recognized very well by its sound when it is read aloud.
