Have you heard about visual thinking?
During the school routine, children and adolescents seek effective ways to enhance their learning. One way to do this is with Visible Thinking Routines.
The term refers to a strategy to visualize what is learned in order to better fix the themes.
To understand its benefits in early childhood education and throughout school life, in addition to knowing how to put it into practice, continue reading this post!

Good reading!
Visible Thinking Routines are a methodology used to organize thoughts and fix learnings.
This happens because, instead of passive reading, students start to have different stimuli:
This process facilitates the understanding of the subject studied and makes it more interesting, as well as allowing the information received to be visually organized for the creation of a line of reasoning.
Routines are a set of questions, asked in stages, which can be used together or separately to stimulate reasoning and visualization in order to understand a topic or seek a solution to a problem. Being practical, quick and easy to remember, they trigger a series of mental processes.
Our body is prepared to assimilate images more easily than texts. The difference is remarkable, as our brain registers and keeps about 80% of everything we practice, see and do, against only 10% of what we read and 20% of what we listen to.
For our minds, processing images when practicing and even teaching others is more intuitive than reading, seeing and listening passively.
In the Thinking Routines different skills are worked on, such as:
The learning process with visual thinking does not have a rule, as it is a model in children's routine.
For its implementation, there are different formats to be chosen according to the profile and goals of each student.
Below we have highlighted three effective methods that help in creating visual thinking at all educational stages. Check out!

The mind map is the methodology used in order to establish connections between ideas and group them based on a central concept.
This is an excellent model for students who want to create relationships to assimilate ideas within a context, as well as rank them.
It can be carried out both on paper and blackboards and in softwares such as Figjam and MindMeister, which allow collaboration between users.
The Cornell note system was created by Walter Pauk in the 1950s at Cornell University.
The purpose of the method is to enable assimilation through the creation of content summaries.
Divided into three parts, the system must contain:
As the least complicated model, creative notes are an excellent way to give students the freedom to find the modus operandi that suits them best.
Drawings, summaries, selection of keywords and a multitude of possibilities can be used for the content to be better understood.
With the appropriate methodology, students have more tools and stimuli to develop their own learning.
This way, throughout the school day, it is possible to notice benefits such as:
With visual thinking children and adolescents can be more motivated to study different subjects, even those in which they have some difficulty.
Finding the best ways to facilitate the understanding of the subjects studied is of immense value for students of all ages.
Colégio Aurum in Jundiaí offers a full-time bilingual teaching proposal with the active methodology of Project-Based Learning, enabling students to develop in an integral and integrated way, combining cognition and socio-emotional skills.
The more people involved in this process, whether at home or at the educational institution, the better it will be for the student to feel prepared and willing to find new ways to enhance learning.
