dc.description.abstract | This thesis project is concerned with the role that graphic
designers have in making learning materials more effective.
It is focused on the need for instructional materials to reflect
current advances in cognitive psychology and our society's
definition of intelligence.
Most instructional materials today are outdated and ineffective.
Some reasons are political, others are socio-economic, and some
fall within the scope of the designed environment. Learning
materials, especially textbooks, designed before the 1980's have
been designed without standards, and at a time when intelligence
was seen as a narrow list of abilities. | en_US |
