VISUAL MAPS FOR BETTER COMPREHENSION
Have you tried reading with these scientific
techniques, which are proven to increase the comprehension?
Who wins the war, not
necessarily an army with higher number of soldiers or fighting jets. Resources
are only one side of the coin, the other side is how you utilize them
effectively. In the same way, memory and logic both are invaluable resources
for comprehension, but both of these can be augmented or compensated through
using some techniques, e.g. Graphic Organizer. For being a winner in using
resource of your mind, start using these techniques.
Visual Maps and Graphic organizers:
Instead of writing about route from one place to other people
prefer to draw it and so on a map. Map is an effective way to augment
comprehension. Teachers use diagrams to augment comprehension. However, when we
read ourselves, we hardly use mapping techniques to develop understanding.
When you study a story, an argument or a problem, you find them
having relationships between events. There is contrast between some of the
findings and some finding are leading and causing others, whereas some are
unrelated.
In mathematics, for showing similarities, common things and
contrast Venn diagram is widely used. The same Venn diagram can be used to
depict different characters of story or to have comparison between different
stories. Venn diagram is drawn through drawing intersecting circles. The area
common to both circles shows similarities between two items, while the areas
unique to each circle show differences between the items. Hierarchy diagram and
matrix diagram are two other ways to have good comprehension of stories and
topics.
