Will Students Remember More When Pictures Are Used?


Some research has been done to show that students get and remember more when using visual learning methods. In fact, one study shows that within 72 hours of teaching, if the lecture uses only oral teaching methods, students can perceive or remember only 10% of what they learn in their classes. On the other hand, when a lecture uses some supporting images, the percentage of what students will remember will be 65%. Some of the benefits that are available when using visual learning are:

The material is more clear as it contains both words and graphic
   Images and pictures bring more eye-catching and memorable information compared to words
   Materials used are easily interpreted compared to other learning mediums.

With these facts, one might agree with the saying that a picture has the same value as a thousand words. Pictures can give more than statements on a given topic being discussed. More so, pictures can provide a real experience that students need, gaining it from many learning ways, considering those that are associated with art-related programs.

Where and How Pictures Are Used as Learning Materials

The law has been applied differently on the usage of these means, depending on how these pictures are being applied in the classrooms and who has to use them. For instance, when a lecture decides to teach using images in a classroom, it is 100% accepted by the law. On the other hand, when pictures are used not during the classes, it will be unacceptable. According to this, showing images in an online classroom will not be treated as an offense.

Nowadays, the studying processes have been enhanced by the use of images while learning in the classrooms. Digital tools have been improved to make sure that the learning process is much easier in terms of providing quality and valuable knowledge.

These digital tools have helped a big deal in improving the learning system. Teachers and students are now considering the use of pictures and images in the classrooms as they have more positive results compared to other means of teaching. It has been evident in most learning institutions that have been using this kind of learning. Pictures have tremendous potential when they are properly used as teaching materials. All in all, these pictures should be carefully applied and professionally selected to be most useful to students.
