  • Teacher Training as an Influential Factor in the Use of Visual Materials in Education
    European Journal of Education, 2018
    Co-Authors: Archontia Foutsitzi
    Abstract:

    The use of Visual Materials in education is a traditional way of teaching. Images are one of the many kinds of teaching methods used by teachers in order to enrich the teaching of their lessons and to revitalise the way they teach. The utilisation of illustrative material when teaching depends on many factors. One of these is the instruction and training of the teachers. This study aims to investigate the influence of the teachers’ profile on the use of images in the teaching of lessons.Keywords: image, illustration, image and education

  • defying stereotypes is a plus classifying gender sex and sexuality content in Visual Materials
    International Conference on Information, 2020
    Co-Authors: Hyerim Cho, Amanda Menking
    Abstract:

    As engagement with various types of Visual Materials like graphic novels and video games has increased, users have become aware of how gender, sex, and sexuality are presented in these Materials. To understand the information needs of these users, the first author adopted diary study and interview methods based on the uses and gratification theory. Through thematic analysis of this data, we learned participants wanted to search for Visual Materials based on gender and sexuality representation and depictions of sexual activities. To situate this finding in the context of existing ratings and recommendations systems, we then used domain analysis to evaluate a maximum variance sample of these systems. We learned currently available Visual material ratings and recommendations systems fail to meet users’ gender and sexuality related search needs. We discuss the relationship between classification systems and censorship to unpack the challenges of providing more descriptive and nuanced classifications of Visual Materials. Our findings identify gaps in current ratings and recommendations systems and suggest ways to move toward more equitable information access.

  • involving medical students in informed consent a pilot study
    World Journal of Surgery, 2015
    Co-Authors: Costanza Chiapponi, F Meyer, Olof Jannasch, Stephan Arndt, Patrick Stubs, Christiane Bruns
    Abstract:

    Introduction Studies have reported that patients often sign consent documents without understanding the content. Written paperwork, audio-Visual Materials, and decision aids have shown to consistently improve patients’ knowledge. How informed consent should be taken is not properly taught at most universities in Germany.
