Case Study: Visual Problem Solving Activity

Abstract

There is a study which concluded that graphic organisers and visual solving includes student performance throughout the engineering education system. By developing this activity the higher order thinking and time management Skills are enhanced by learning the basics of research by finding the visuals and appropriate data for the given topics. This study examines that students are allotted with different topics and were asked to make use of technology to present it visually with less text and solve a problem related to the topic. Topics were changed by students as they were not comfortable with that particular allotted topic. Managing students during the activity, analysis of parameters and evaluation is represented in this paper. Limitations of the current study and recommendations for future research are presented.
