Lesson 13; Teaching with Visual Symbols

1. Teaching with Visual
Symbols
(drawings,cartoons,strip drawings,
diagrams, charts, graphs, and maps)

2. “Visual symbols will be made
meaningful if we can use them as
summaries of our own direct
experiences of our rich indirect
experiences…. ‘’A bottle of wine
contains more philosophy than all the
books in the world!!!”

3. Base on your

Drawing. It helps you a lot if
you are capable of doing
simple freehand sketching.

Another useful visual
symbol that can bring novelty
to our teaching is the cartoon. A
first-rate cartoon tells its story
metaphorically. The perfect

• Types of Diagram

18. oTree diagram
Use to chart out, in
increasing detail, the various
tasks that must be
accomplished to complete a
project or achieve a specific

the relationship of possible causes and
sub causes directly related to an
identified effect/problem.

23. o CHARTS
A chart is a diagrammatic representation of
relationships among individuals with an
organization. We have a:
1.Time chart
2.Tree or stream chart
3. Flow chart
4. Organizational chart
5. Comparison and contrast chart
6. Pareto chart
7. Run chart or trend chart

24. o Time Chart
Is a tabular time chart
that presents data in
ordinal sequence

25. Time Period Average Life

26. o Tree or Stream chart
Depicts development, growth and change by
beginning with the course(the trunk)which spreads
out into many branches; or by beginning with
many tributaries which then converge into a single
channel.

28. oFlow Chart
Is a visual way of charting or
showing a process from beginning to

By outlining every step in a process,
you can begin to find inefficiencies or
problems.

30. oOrganizational Chart
• Shows how one part of the
organization relates to other
parts of the organization.

32. Comparison and
Contrast chart

33. oPareto chart
Is a type of bar chart,

of magnitude or importance from
left to right. It shows at a glance
which factor are occurring most.

35. oGannt chart
Is an activity time
chart.

37. o Graphs
There are several types of graphs.
They are:
1. Circle or pie graph
2. Bar graph
3. Pictorial graph
4. Line graph

38. Sales
operation maintenance
capital outlay
general control
interest
instruction

Bar graph-use in comparing the magnitude of similar items at
different ties or seeing relative sizes of the parts of a whole.

40. Pictorial graph-make use of picture
symbols.

41. o Graphic organizers
• You met several graphic
organizers in your subjects,
Principles of Teaching.

49. oMaps
is a “representation of
the surface of the earth
or some part of it..”

50. Physical Map- combines in a single projection
data like altitude, temperature,
rainfall, precipitation, vegetation and soil.

51. Relief Map-has three dimensional representations
and show contours of the physical data of the earth or
part of the earth

52. Commercial or Economic Map-
also called product or industrial map since they show land
areas in relation to the economy.

53. PoliticalMap-gives detailed information about
country, provinces, cities, and towns, roads and highways.
Oceans, rivers and lakes are the main features of most political
maps.

54. Map Language
Scale – show how much of actual
earth’s surface is represented by a given
measurement on a map. The scale must
be shown so that the map reader can use
the distances and areas shown on the
map in measuring or figuring out the real
distances and areas on the earth surface.
On some maps, scales is shown
graphically in others the scales is
expressed in words and figures.

55. Symbols – usually a map has a legend that explain what
each symbol mean
Color – the different color of the map are the part of the
map language. What colors represent the bodies of water?
What about contours of the earth and rail road, highway
and other cultural features
Geographic grids – the entire system of these grids
lines are called gridlines. These grid lines are called
meridians and parallel. A meridian is north to south poles
line. Parallel are lines drawn around a globe with all points
along each lines with an equal distance from the pole.
Longitude is the distance in degrees of any place east or
west of the prime meridian. Latitude is the distance in
degrees of any place north and south of equator.

56. Making the Connection
1. Go over our past lessons in this course
Ed.tech1. look for visual symbol that you
used in the past lesson. Identify them.
2. In your lesson on correlation in statistics,
you came across a scatter diagram. Go over a
sample of a scatter diagram. Is this also a
visual symbol? What does a scatter diagram
show?
3. Under which kind of visual symbol do the
life cycle that you study in science belong?
