“…The comics relate the knowledge to everyday happenings to make scientific concepts familiar to readers. This connection of knowledge to the reader's prior experience improves comprehension and remembrance (Alesandrini, 1984). The comic strips' two sources of information, which are visual and verbal, produce a synergistic effect in learning (Liu, 2004).…”

Science museums make the effort to create exhibits with amusing explanations. However, existing explanation signs with lengthy text are not appealing, and as such, visitors do not pay attention to them. In contrast, conspicuous comic strips composed of simple drawings and humors can attract science museum visitors. This study attempted to reveal whether comic strips contribute to science exhibitions. More than 20 comic strips were chosen that were associated with exhibits in a science museum. The individual episodes were printed out and placed beside the corresponding exhibits. A questionnaire was administered to museum visitors to evaluate the effects of the comic strips. Most visitors responded that the comic strips were helpful in understanding the exhibits and in familiarizing themselves with the science. Participants also described the comic strips' deficiencies which will be considered for future revisions. Comic strips are likely to enhance interest in and comprehension of science exhibitions. Furthermore, these strips are expected to enrich science museums in various ways such as establishing their uniqueness.

“…Photographs provide visual, rather than verbal, prompts that may help to promote the elicitation of children's ideas by stimulating different intelligences (Gardner, 1999), and are thought to play a crucial role in the learning process (Alesandrini, 1984). The photographs were selected to be direct representations or analogies of the key areas of microbial activity that this age group is likely to have had some experience of, and they are all related to statutory teaching requirements in the English curriculum.…”

Concept mapping is a technique used to provide a visual representation of an individual's ideas about a concept or set of related concepts. This paper describes a concept mapping tool using a photograph association technique (CoMPAT) that is considered to be a novel way of eliciting children's ideas. What children at 11 years of age know about particular concepts related to microbial activity is presented and discussed in relation to the effectiveness of CoMPAT as a tool to draw out their ideas. It is proposed that this tool could be used to explore ideas about this and other science concepts from children in other age groups, and where language may be a barrier to participation.

“…Esta tabela também indica problemas de design que estavam presentes no manual analisado. Alessandrini, 1984;Bull et al2001;Caposecco, Hickson & Meyer, 2011e 2014Hoffman & Worral, 2004;Silva, 2012;MHRA, 2014 Diante deste levantamento, foi definido que o manual redesenhado utilizaria um formato de um fichário personalizado por paciente. Para tal, optou-se pela criação de diferentes blocos de informações possibilitando ao fonoaudiólogo, juntamente com o paciente, selecionar o conjunto de informações correspondente às necessidades e estágio de tratamento e, então, armazenar estas folhas no fichário.…”

Design da Informação, Design Gráfico Inclusivo, manuais de instrução, deficiência auditiva, prótese auditiva Usuários de próteses auditivas apresentam dificuldades com relação ao uso e cuidados com o dispositivo, podendo levar a um impacto negativo na intervenção. Além disto, os manuais de instrução destas próteses frequentemente apresentam baixa leiturabilidade e pouca eficiência, sobretudo para usuários idosos. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi realizar o redesign de um manual de instrução sobre uso e cuidados com próteses auditivas à luz do levantamento das necessidades do usuário e pesquisa bibliográfica, aplicação de metodologias do Design Gráfico e avaliação com usuários e profissionais. Após o redesign, o conteúdo do manual foi considerado de fácil leitura (índice de facilidade de leitura Flesch) e considerado adequado aos indivíduos com até 5 anos de estudo. Este manual foi avaliado por 30 fonoaudiólogos, por meio de formulário online. A qualidade e utilidade do manual na prática clínica foi considerada alta. A continuidade do estudo abrangerá avaliações de qualidade e usabilidade com usuários. information design, inclusive graphic Design, instruction materials, hearing loss, hearing aids Hearing aids' users present difficulties regarding use and care of device, which may lead to a negative impact on intervention. In addition, these devices' manuals often have low readability and poor efficiency specially among elderly users. The aim of this research was to redesing a manual on hearing aid care and use according to survey of users' needs, bibliographical research, the application of graphic design
