VISUAL THINKING AND EDUCATION

Visual Thinking and Education is a work that integrates current research on the concepts of visuospatial reasoning. It embraces Visual Thinking as a modern theoretical construct for working in both the science and art education fields, and emphasizes teacher training for its competency development. The study of visual reasoning is based on perception and on proportional and spatial relationships, which are commonly included as aspects of the study of intelligence. This construct is closely related to the representation models (graphicacy) that underlie all educational modeling, from the simplest drawing to the most complex technological design. With its study, this work contributes to clarifying the study of visuospatial competence, which is confusing when we address the difficulty of representing three-dimensional visual experience on two-dimensional surfaces.
