Are visual representations always helpful in the communication of knowledge? Discuss with reference to the human sciences and mathematics..
PT No.5 May 2023
Title Discussion
- The question suggests that
communication in knowledge is effective through visual representation
- The word "are" shows that the title want us to identify whether the visual presentation can always be helpful in the communication of knowledge or not.
- This indicate that the answer can be true or wrong based on the research, discussion and data that we found
- The title also want us to explore whether the communication of knowledge can be helpful through visual presentation in human sciences and mathematics.
Keywords
Communication
A process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behavior
Helpful
Something that has been or could be applied in coping with situations and circumstances, and also help to solve a problem
Visual Representation
The direct or symbolic reflection of something in the format of photos, the images, memes, graphics to represent people, things, a place, or a situation
Discuss
An in-depth answer that takes into account all aspects of the debate concerning a research topic or argument
Point of View
-
Core Concept
Truth
-
While looking at this concept, we have to identify whether or not things can be true within certain limits by asking ourselves how truthful and reliable the statement is.
In this question, we will identify the truth whether the visual representation always helpful in the comm
Truth is the aim of belief where people need the truth about the world in order to thrive which make it the important element in answering the question.
Evidence
Everything in this question will be proven based on some kind of evidence springing from experiments, observations or trusted source.
We will find out evidence that has been done before to show the effectiveness of using visual representation in the communication of knowledge to answer this question based on the trusted reference
-
Good evidence is something that is reliable, authentic, understandable, and representing the situation which we can use them to answer the question accurately
Bad evidence will give us difficulty to make a judgement it conclusion because the evidence is difficult to understand and does not really reliable with the situation
Perspective
Perspective is one of the TOK concept to examines how human see things differently based on their opinion and thought.
We want to examine the perspective of human on visual representation whether it can be helpful in communication of knowledge or not for them
This concept some extent help to observe the effectiveness of using the visual representation on different human based on different area of knowledge
Specifically, this enables us to understand how the measurements made in our own frame of reference would appear in the frame of another person or group

Visual Representation
Visual representations have been used in science over the years to enable scientists to interact with complex phenomena (Richards 2003) and might convey important evidence not observable in other ways
There are various types of visual representations including graphs, tables, maps, diagrams, networks and icons. The variations on these types can also be classified according to the way they convey information and the efficiency in which they provide information.
In mathematics, visual representation or often referred to as a schematic representation or schematic diagram is an accurate depiction of a given problem's mathematical quantities and relationships.
In human sciences, visual representation can be used to study the social, cultural and biological aspects of human existence by demonstrating concepts accompanied by images or texts
Area of Knowledge
Mathematics
Mathematics is a subject that deals with abstract ideas in order to solve problems which the information can be represented with numbers, words, and other types of symbols.
Although there are a number of problem solving strategies that use in mathematics, good problem solvers usually construct a visual representation of the problem to help them comprehend it
For example, a tree diagram which is a method of representing independent events or conditions related to an action. It is often used to teach students probability theory.
For students especially those with learning disabilities, both receiving instruction and solving problems by using visual representation will help support their deeper understanding of concepts and operations in mathematics
Visual representation is an important skill because higher-level math courses might required skills of drawing on visualization and spatial reasoning skills to solve problems
Human Sciences
Human sciences is a study of human behaviour of individuals or members of a group with a common features such as a shared methodology and the overall object of study: human existence and behaviour.
For instance, knowledge about the principle of "supply and demand" helps us understand how and why transactions on markets take place and how prices are determined
Human scientists usually use visual presentation in form of graph, diagram and others to observe, collect data, form hypotheses, aim to test the validity of these hypotheses and possibly falsify them.
They usually construct a graph and diagram as the visual representation to observe the changes in economics by illustrating the changes in supply demand
The importance of visual displays is often under-estimated in regards to their ability to interpret economic information to those that are less economically savvy
