Role of animations in Teaching-Learning

Challenge & Selection

The tool I used for better learning concepts is to encourage visual thinking. I work with  students of diversified background with different level of learning capabilities and in school  education, the medium is not English. Hence, students from rural areas and non-English  medium students find very difficult to cope up with the regular classes in higher education. I  have spent a lot of time in making them understand the concepts, simultaneously the other  group of students find simple and felt bored with the extended lectures.

In these circumstances, I thought of introducing concepts with animations and applications  first than theorems and hypothesis. The learning makes easier and through understanding  because of the animations.

Application

I start the new concepts with an application and its function with an animation. This  motivates the students from non-English medium to understand better and creates interest  in the topic. Also, after the lectures, I will share weblink’s which creates interest in this topic  and make them learn English slowly. I confirmed the same by conducting some informal  interactions with the students and understanding their difficulties in learning.

Insight & Approach

Though the response is better, the surprise test conducted during the classes ensures the  improvement in learning capabilities and the presentation skills of the students. The  language barrier was slowly reducing and it encourages students to learn new concepts at  lesser time. Also, scientific visualization makes the student to ‘think differently’,  improvement in approaching and analysing the real-time engineering problem.

The animation is important because it makes us be able to communicate emotions and  ideas in a unique, easy-to-perceive way. Animation has helped connect student in a way  that sometimes conventional teaching is helpless. The timely feedback from students  helped me to understand the problem and subsequent discussions and survey is the starting  point for the design thinking activities. The new way of teaching concepts with the real-time  sound still makes to learn better in a short period.
