MindMap Gallery Tutorial Visualisation of Knowledge
This mind map is about the tutorial to visualization of knowledge.
Edited at 2020-10-08 03:38:03Tutorial: Visualisation of Knowledge
Requirements for Presentations
Why?
problem: overusage of presentation aids
a presentation file that can be understood without the presenter can only fail in an active presentation
experiment: minimal visual aid to present ONE aspect
make a lasting impression!
what is expected?
good presentation
speaker appearance
voice
Sprecherziehung?
free & clear, in own words, loud enough, not too fast
posture
gesture & mimic
attitude
interested?
convincing?
interaction with audience
eye contact
queries
organisation
time limit 20 min: 15 pres + 5 interaction
sequence: intro - outline - content - summary
orientation in sequence for audience
content
not a description of project activities
focus on ONE particular aspect of your project
conditions
goals
media
choice of topic
temporal sequence
didactical comment
pro/con, difficulties
key questions
how does your project increas learners' ICC?
how does it support autonomous language learning?
coherent, comprehensible
interlinked with issues discussed before
high level of reflection
readiness to answer questions
principles
Variation
brilliant presentation
media usage
single visual anchor/representation/analogy
when someone from the audience sees the vis. anchor afterwards, they must be able to recall main info
focus on process/development of your vis. anchor
interact with media
hard with pc (typing, pointing..)
easy with ohp & whiteboard
structure of analogy fits the topic
show/hide ok
minimalistic
reflect on your choice & design
project plan must be finished one week before presentation is due
handout?

prezi is not main goal!
learn to visualise without electronic aid
link to last session!
practice to find visual metaphors!
how to visualise a project
visual metaphor:
(abstract) source domain --> (concrete, visual) target domain
learning is travelling
learning English is a long way with ups and downs, but it's worth it!
learning is building a house (constructivism)
we cannot transfer knowledge -- all we can do is provide a scaffolding for the learners to build up knowledge themselves
realising a project is travelling through landscape
realising a project is building a house
more: periodic table
task: vis projects!
1. choose a project topic
1.1. your own presentation
1.2. or choose a project plan from FTE
1.3. or go to http://ellt2010-11.wikispaces.com/
2. get to the heart of it
2.1. what's your focus?
2.1.1. what's the most interesting part of your project idea?
2.2. how do you increase learner autonomy & ICC?
2.3. why do you consider your method effective?
3. make it visible
3.1. find visual metaphors for your main idea
3.1.1. think of your everyday life
3.1.2. think about products in the supermarket
4. present to partner & check effectiveness
4.1. could you use icons/logos?
4.2. too much text?

how are your presentations developing? -> plan who & when, individual sessions!
next session?
why dont people practice before?
not authentic
feel like experts already
effort
benefits not clear
warm-up: advertiser applies for teaching job
task
choose a topic
from text books, curriculum
own
history of migration in the USA
past perfect / simple past - what's the difference?
identify associated teaching goals
lehrplan?
evaluate existing visualisations
describe
structure
hierachical
collection
network
direction of reading
purpose?
effectiveness?
develop own ideas how to support the topic visually & reflect on effectiveness
think about concrete realisations: context? media? potentials/problems?
context: teacher/learner centered?
analysis of visual support
Example 1
Characters in Romeo & Juliet
understanding relationships & conflicts of the characters
paths of relation, clusters = families
doodle
best if students develop their own chart (constructivism)
use computer or other flexible realisation (understanding relationships is a process!)
4th
warm-up "Schmiegenraten"
task from last week, but media-specific!
What is visualisation?
make visible the invisible
turn nonvisual/abstract data/relations into visually perceivable/comprehensible format/representation
nonvisual information =
thoughts
abstract concepts
"justice"
"friendship"
"truth"
relations btw concepts
abstract reasoning
"humans are mammals, all mammals give birth, therefore all humans give birth"
signsystems
alphabet
e.g. Text = connection of concepts
numbers, other data
e.g. spreadsheet
actions, processes
emotions
but its hard to communicate
abstract concepts -- via metaphor
equality?
scales
cognitive effort (signsystem -> meaning)
intercultural communication
e.g. pioneer plaque
"The Pioneer F spacecraft, destined to be the first human made object to escape from the solar system into interstellar space, carries this pictorial plaque. It is designed to show scientifically educated inhabitants of some other star system, who might intercept it millions of years from now, when Pioneer was launched, from where, and by what kind of beings. The design is etched into a 6 inch by 9 inch gold-anodized aluminum plate, attached to the spacecraft's attenna support struts in a position to help shield it from erosion by interstellar dust. Origin: The radiating lines at left represents the positions of 14 pulsars, a cosmic source of radio energy, arranged to indicate our sun as the home star of our civilization. The "1-" symbols at the ends of the lines are binary numbers that represent the frequencies of these pulsars at the time of launch of Pioneer F relative of that to the hydrogen atom shown at the upper left (Language) with a "1" unity symbol. The hydrogen atom is thus used as a "universal clock," and the regular decrease in the frequencies of the pulsars will enable another civilization to determine the time that has elapsed since Pioneer F was launched. The hydrogen is also used as a "universal yardstick" for sizing the human figures and outline of the spacecraft shown on the right. The hydrogen wavelength, about 8 inches, multiplied by the binary number representing "8" shown next to the woman gives her height, 64 inches. The figures represent the type of creature that created Pioneer. The man's hand is raised in a gesture of good will. Across the bottom are the planets, ranging outward from the Sun, with the spacecraft trajectory arching away from Earth, passing Mars, and swinging by Jupiter."

Why visualise?
cognitive linguistics
Cognitive linguists point out the connection of language and visual representation via metaphor or metonymy. Apart from poetic image metaphors, cognitive linguists claim the existence of conceptual metaphors which are believed to structure most abstract concepts in our every-day lives.A prominent example is the LIFE IS A JOURNEY metaphor, e.g. “I'm at a crossroads in my life.”Furthermore, cognitive linguists point to image schemas that influence the way we think and speak at more basic level. Examples include the 'up-down', 'front-back' or 'linear order' image schemas. In particular, Lakoff (2006: 213) argues that abstract reasoning is based on spacial reasoning – if this istrue, understanding and supporting spacial reasoning is vital for teachers. students explore the connection of language, thought and visual representation & collect examples of conceptual metaphors in English. Recommended reading: Lakoff, G. (2006). The contemporary theory of metaphor. In Geeraerts, D (Ed.), Cognitive Linguistics: Basic Readings (185-237). Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter.
because we understand all concepts visually:
evidence: speaking visually!
metaphor is a mode of thought
abstract reasoning is a special form of spacial reasoning (Chafe?)
metaphor:
(abstract) source domain --> (concrete) target domain
image metaphors / poetic ~
you're a candle in the wind
conceptual metaphors
Argument is War
set up positions, attack, defend, retreat,win/lose the argument
Life is a Journey
I'm at a crossroad in my life

Death is Departure
From the Monty Python Dead Parrot-sketch:"This parrot is no more. It has ceased to be. It’s expired and gone to meet itsmaker. This is a late parrot. It’s a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If youhadn’t nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies. It’s rung downthe curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot." -> Outline the mappings that appear in the text with reference to the DEATH ISDEPARTURE metaphor. Are there any other conventional metaphorsapparent in this text?-> Discuss Lakoff’s claim that metaphors are grounded in experience and assuch not culture-specific with reference to examples from the text.
image schemes
up-down
Good is Up, Bad is Down
high quality, high moral values, high expectations, high lifehigh technology, higher education, higher forms of life
Power is Up, Powerlessness is Down
high society, high class, high status, high command, highpriest, high position in a company.
front-back
Future is front, Past is Back
looking forward to meeting you
he left Jane behind and turned to Christina
involved/detached
because a text is detached (can stand for itself in time & space)
the more text, the less you need the author/a presenter.
more involved = easier to remember
in a live presentation, you are fixed in time & space,
use this context!
use personal stories/narratives
psychology
Visualisation can not only be seen from the language point of view but also through the eyes of psychology, in particular cognitive psychology. We will find answers to questions like: How is information processed in the brain? Why does visualisation support learning and how can we support it? Moreover, we will investigate the power of analogy and practice to find analogies ourselves. Recommended reading: Mietzel, G. (2007). Pädagogische Psychologie des Lernens und Lehrens.Göttingen: Hogrefe.

how is knowledge organised? (Lernen mit Bildmedien, Weidenmann p 26)
information theory
because seeing is more than perception -- it's active perception (decoding of signs), you interpret what you see on the basis of preexisting knowledge
"The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.” Henri Bergson
utilise your audiences' preexisting knowledge to make your point!
language & visual communication = sign systems
sender (encode) channel/medium (decode) receiver
