We live in a world where visuals are becoming very important, as most information is presented as a combination of words and pictures which provide the opportunity to create concrete and abstract ideas for reading through the formation of images in the mind. Everything in the world is a photo. The written (text) is a photo, and the photo represents a text. Visual literacy is the ability to use images to construct meaning. The advantages of symbols have long been recognized, which is why we are increasingly incorporating symbolic teaching and learning today. Using words and images allows the thought process to be visible, that is, it allows us to put ideas on paper, out of the brain, where we can explore them more deeply. Since visualization is considered a factor that directly affects the level of understanding and retention of students' attention, many remarks addressed the inclusion of this component in the preliminary books. To gather experience and findings about the impact of the inclusion of images and visual representations on the attention of students, a questionnaire was carried out with teachers who worked in the lower primary cycle. However, since the research problem has to do with the positive impact of these visual shows on maintaining the students' attention, direct observation of the students was also carried out. The research will reveal data and qualitative analysis obtained from the observation of students of the lower primary cycle of two schools in the cities of Tetovo, Skopje, Gostivar, and Kiçevo, one of which is a school in the city and one in the village. The retention of students' attention has been compared using books that are supported by visual and contrasting images. The data collected from the statements collected from the questionnaires and qualitative data collected from the observation are analyzed with statistical procedures and methods. The arithmetic mean was used to describe the quantitative data obtained from this research. To measure the variability of the data, the standard deviation measure was used, a t-test of statistical significance and ANOVA were used to determine the differences between the groups, while the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between the variables. The results obtained about this complicated and active act, prompt many questions, but also support many conclusions that cause different associations and suggest many solutions presented in the relevant research in the form of suggestions.
Effects of Pictures on Memory & Learning
2000
Foreign language instruction material has become increasingly highly visual--from pictures on flashcards for vocabulary learning, to richly illustrated textbooks, to multimedia software, to films and movies. In this article, we consider what the advantages and disadvantages may be of using visual material. What happens when we look at pictures, or at written words, or at pictures and words together? Is there a further effect when we hear words spoken along with visual or written material? We find evidence that visual material has strong influences on memory and learning, but its effectiveness for language learning depends on the goal of the instruction as well as student learning abilities and preferences.
Message Design: Color Impact and its Effectiveness on Designing Instructional Infographic
International Journal of Learning, Teaching and Educational Research
This study aims to contribute to the development of message design. This designing is aimed to enhance student memory and support their knowledge recall. Therefore, the study assesses the impact of colors (Red-Green-Purple-Cyan) and their effect when used in designing educational infographic message for students with relation to their retrieve functionality. To achieve the goal of the study, the researchers follow the quasi-experiment methodology, using five tools which vary in terms of words, sentences, and images. A total of 87 female students at King Saud University from different fields (Islamic Studies, Quranic Studies, Art Education, Special Needs Education, Psychology and Computer Science). The study found that there is a significant relationship (0.05 ≥ α) between the colors usages in designing educational infographic message and level of students' recall for students. It also found the significant level at (0. 05 ≥ α) impact of colors, particularly for red, on recall's level of the students when used in designing educational infographic message. Also, the researchers recommend studying different colors in divergent fields to present an educational message such as educational media, educational software, educational websites, images, books, social networking etc. which can enhance the learning competence of the students.

Multimedia presentation of information in instruction is widely used in many academic and business settings around the world. The multimedia part of this instruction is not only the use of computers, but also includes textbooks with pictures, handouts, videos, etc., anything that uses “multiple” sources of media and multiple perceptions to learn. Today there is a need for a well-defined, wide-spread, and easy to remember definition of visual grammar for presentation software use in the classroom. This research presents the finding of three attributes of this visual grammar, background color, font style, and text density. A platform of presentation software was used to test and define these characteristics on student retention in a classroom setting. In addition, this research was conducted in Japan and the USA to ascertain if there is a cross cultural perceptual difference in retention of information.
The Effect of Color, Stimuli Type and Learning Styles on Recall Performance
2017
This study aimed to investigate the effect of colors (red and blue), stimuli types (verbal and visual) and learning styles (verbal learning style and visual learning style) on the process of recall. Earlier studies have concluded that visual stimuli have higher rates of recall compared to verbal stimuli and that compared to cool colors (e.g., blue), warm colors (e.g., red) lead to better recall performance. However, the question of whether learning styles have an impact on recall performance is left unanswered. In line with earlier studies, we hypothesized that visual and red-colored stimuli will have a higher recall rate. Different from earlier studies, we predicted an interaction between learning styles and stimuli types. In order to assess the rate of recall for distinct stimuli, the participants (N=40) were presented with the four stimuli presentations. The participants filled out the Turkish translation of the Verbalizer-Visualizer Questionnaire (Kirby et al., 1988), so their preference for each learning style was determined. The results of this experiment indicated that stimuli type have a significant impact on the process of recall, yet there was no effect of learning styles and the colors of the stimuli on retention scores. Further research needs to be conducted to better understand the role of learning styles on the recall process.
Impact of Visual Teaching on School Students
Educationists are concerned about what kind of activities and things serve as efficient means and tools of learning. Research in this field shows that audio visual materials in the form of pictures, chats, maps, slides, film strips, recordings have a significant contribution to learning, reinforcing role of text books and oral instructions. Objective of present study is to draw attention of school teachers to the importance and scope of audio visual aids in the learning.
A Research-Based Evidence of the Effect of Graphic
Sage Open, 2017
Abstract Graphic organizers (GOs) are fast becoming acceptable standard instructional tools across subjects in the education arena globally. However, this visual representation of information is yet to be recognized and integrated into the teaching methods in Nigerian schools. This study, therefore, presents a research-based investigation of the usefulness of GOs in the appreciation of prose literature in Nigeria, with a view to foregrounding their use in Nigerian schools. Specifically, the study seeks to find out whether senior secondary students in prose literature-in-English in Nigeria who are taught with GOs perform better in prose and comprehension assessments. Four project secondary schools with total of 100 students were purposively selected for the study. The schools were grouped into two: graphic-based schools (GBS) and non-graphic-based schools (NGBS). Whereas the GBS was exposed to instruction via eight graphic organizers, the NGBS served as control. Subjected to descriptive statistics and one-sample t test analysis, the investigation reveals that graphic organizers make students take charge of the learning process in prose literature classes, and it concludes that these visual instructional elements guarantee student understanding and achievement. The study, thus, recommends the incorporation of graphic organizers in the teaching and learning processes across subjects in Nigerian schools.

Visual Materials and their Impact on Students’ Achievement during Virtual Learning
Proceedings of 2nd International Multi-Disciplinary Conference Theme: Integrated Sciences and Technologies, IMDC-IST 2021, 7-9 September 2021, Sakarya, Turkey, 2022
Visual materials are tools that could help the teachers in class to manufacture the necessary knowledge for effective and delightful teaching. The current research has used visual materials and investigated experimentally their impact on students' achievement in teaching English as a Foreign Language during the virtual learning of pandemic of Covid-19. The sample of the research is 64 students at the College of Physical Education and Science Sport for Women/Baghdad University which they are divided into two groups, the experimental is taught according to the visual materials (Sadiq, 2019) while the second one is taught by using the traditional textbook only (Abdul-Razzaq& Al-Mufti, 1987). After three months, the results of the pre and post-tests are analyzed statistically. And the results are revealed that there is a significant difference for the visual materials group. Therefore, it is indicated using visual materials in English foreign teaching is effective as a tool for presenting printing materials.
COLOUR IN LEARNING: IT'S EFFECT ON THE RETENTION RATE OF GRADUATE STUDENTS
Cognitive psychologists have discovered different design principles to enhance memory performance. It has been said that retrieving process depends on many variables and one of them is colour. This paper provides an overview of research on colour and learning. It includes the effect of colour on attention, retention and memory performance, and relates these to the design of instructional materials. The study reported the effect colour had on the retention rate of graduate students of the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye. Thirty graduate students participated in this study. The purpose of this research study was to determine if colour (in prints form) influence the learning process. The independent variable was colour at two levels: Congruent colours (colours corresponding to the words) and Incongruent colours (colours not related to the words), while for the control, Achromatic colours (black and shades of grey) were used. The dependent variable was the retention rate i.e. number of words recalled. The research design was a posttest only design. A one-way ANOVA was used to analyze the data and the results indicated that there was a statistically significant difference in the number of words recalled based on colour. The groups exposed to congruent colours and achromatic colours performed better than those exposed to incongruent colours, although the group exposed to the congruent colour prints performed better than those of the other groups. Therefore designers of instructional materials need to use colour wisely by paying attention to the effect of colour on learning.
