having trouble hearing?
Pupil: No, teacher I’m
having trouble listening!

Significance:
Posters are tools that enable visualization
in the classroom to foster student
learning.
Cognitive science supports the visual display
of information as useful for student learning;on
particular, dual coding theory
describes the
benefits of both verbal and non-verbal
processes for key components of cognition.
Posters provide an opportunity to pair visual
learning with text book reading, lecture and
traditional homework
assignments. As such,
posters are often created by students to visually
display a significant course project, developing
research or a particular perspective for class
to consider.
- Definition:
A poster is a bill or placard usually displayed
in a public place.
It is often decorated with diagrams or
illustrations.
Examples
Instructors
looking to implement posters in the
classroom can consider using the
backward
design process to develop a poster activity
aligned with course
learning outcomes.
The following examples provide approaches
to this strategy:
Class Brainstorm -
An instructor poses a
question to the class and
gathers student responses on a poster for a
class
brainstorm. A student volunteer or the instructor
acts as the
scribe.
Summary of Main Ideas -
Students work together in small groups to
summarize main ideas from
class readings or
other lessons. Each group later gives a 1-minute
overview to the class of the ideas captured.
Concept Map -
In order to tie
together key concepts learned from
the course, students work in groups
to create a
concept map, providing a window into their
conceptual
understanding. The instructor uses
these maps as formative assessment.
Common Poster Presentation -
Students choose a topic to investigate further for a
class project, or
carry out research for independent
study or class. They display their
main ideas on a
poster and present it to the class, the instructor, or
to attendees at a departmental poster session
Problem-solving -
Students in a
STEM (science, technology,
engineering, and math) course work in groups
and
are assigned particular problems to solve.
They work out their
solutions on posters.
Before/After-Assessment of Knowledge
-
Students are given a particular task such as
developing a concept
map or listing all of their
knowledge about a particular topic at the
beginning
of a course or class session. The instructor saves
these
“pre-” posters. At the end of the course, or
class, the students repeat
that task.
The instructor displays the “before-” and “after-”
posters
side-by-side and asks students to consider
their learning progression.
The instructor also uses
their posters to monitor whether they have
reached
particular learning outcomes.
Diagram of a Process -
For
certain processes, visualization via a diagram
can be useful for
learning. An instructor presents the
process to the class and asks the
students to draw it
out on large posters, which reinforces
collaboration,
varied learning, and skills application.
Timeline -
Students develop a
timeline of major events learned
on a poster. Examples could include:
events leading
up to a historical event such as the Civil War,
geological time scales, or the life events of a
particular historical
figure.
Table -
Students have a list of
key terms, such as important
historical figures, based on course
content. They
complete a table, filling in key information, and
comparing posters to ascertain missing elements or
different
perspectives. Students then use this table
as a study tool.
Venn Diagram -
Students capture similarities and differences between
the items under discussion in class by creating a
Venn diagram.
