Visual Aid as an Effective Tool in Teaching Learning Process

Abstract

Visual Aid is one of the most effective methods of imparting knowledge of any kind. It
is an accomplished fact that, what one sees he learns faster than what one hears and therein lays
the importance of visual aid as a medium of instruction. For this reason, with the passage of
time, visual aids have come to take a very prominent place in the system of education.Visual aids
thus make teaching more effective. If visual aids used in the lecture, the listeners feel stimulated
and they take more interest in the topic. Keeping students motivated and actively engaged in
their classes can be a challenging task. However, there are some simple strategies we can use to
help enhance our students’ interest and keep them involved. By using visual stimuli we are more
likely to maintain student attention and encourage active participation. We can also cater for
different learning styles. This paper presents the effective ways to clarify messages visually by
selecting the appropriate visual aid to make the instruction meaningful for students.
