I learned that using visual methods—such as diagrams, charts, videos, illustrations, and color-coded materials—can make learning medical terminology more engaging and memorable. Visual aids help students see the relationships between terms, root words, prefixes, and suffixes, which improves comprehension and retention. For example, labeling anatomical diagrams or creating color-coded word maps reinforces connections between structure and terminology.
I plan to apply these methods by integrating diagrams, flashcards, and interactive visuals into my lessons. Using images alongside explanations will support both visual and tactile learners, making complex terminology more approachable. One question I have is how to balance visual methods with other learning styles to ensure that auditory and reading/writing learners are also fully engaged.
