| Abstract | This paper starts by elaborating dual coding theory (Paivio, 1986), highlighting the uses and connections of verbal and visual representations in information processing. The specialized functions of visual representation, as compared with that of the verbal, are addressed. The theory is then used to re-conceptualize the notion of ‘visualization’. Based on this, an empirical study of students’ visualization of two science topics (electrostatics and washing/ emulsification) is reported. It illustrates what dual coding theory can offer to our knowledge of students’ visualization of science. This includes the suggestion of a novel method of eliciting students’ understanding of science; and some new findings and interpretations of students' understanding based on the method. |
