The role of visual learning and manipulative method
Author(s): Roma Tiwari and Sangeeta Gupta
Abstract: This research examines how visual learning and manipulative techniques affect students' comprehension of mathematical concepts. The objective is to investigate the ways these strategies can improve cognitive and emotional learning outcomes in mathematics. A mixed-methods approach was used, integrating both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. A total of 100 students in grades 6-8 participated in the study. Findings indicated that both visual learning and manipulative techniques significantly improved students' grasp of mathematical concepts. Those taught with these methods exhibited higher cognitive understanding and emotional engagement than their peers who experienced traditional instruction. The research also revealed that these techniques were particularly beneficial for students with diverse learning styles and abilities. The implications for mathematics education suggest that incorporating visual learning and manipulative strategies fosters better comprehension of mathematical concepts, underscoring the importance of recognizing individual differences in learning styles when developing instructional designs. Overall, this study enriches the growing body of evidence supporting the effectiveness of visual and manipulative approaches in mathematics education.
