This research encloses that students like to use internet for their purposes. The most important purpose is to use search for visualizations because students have aspiration for deeper knowledge. Also, results enclose negative aspects in this field. Students do not search for visual information in the internet because they feel lack of need; there are bad conditions in the classroom. The last reason could be identified as highlighted prominence of pedagogues’ role. All this could improve that students who have low interest to search in the internet could be called as unmotivated. </style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16-22</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Renata Bilbokaitė</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">VISUALIZATION IN SCIENCE EDUCATION: THE RESULTS OF PILOT RESEARCH IN GRADE 10</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problems of Education in the 21st Century </style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">science education</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">secondary school</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">visualization in science</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">November/2009</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2014/457-1396706997.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The modern visualization is created to help in education processes and is oriented to the evaluation of knowledge. It is very important for science education to have perfectly prepared aids that could show invisible phenomena and could foster deeper motivation. The more images there are in education process the better pupils understand and realize information. This article encloses that visualization was popular in biology lessons and in physics, but teachers did not use computer based visualization and students did not use concept mapping in chemistry classes. Students had similar conditions to learn science in grade 10 and their opinion is generalised in the article. </style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23-29</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Renata Bilbokaitė</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ANALYSIS OF VISUAL THINKING MEANING IN SCIENCE EDUCATION</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problems of Education in the 21st Century </style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">science education</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">visual perception</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">visual thinking</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">February/2008</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2014/457-1392222464.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Western culture coding mostly all information in verbal codes influenced all Europe human thinking and its skills that is why verbal thinking was broadly analyzed in science. However, the meaning of visual thinking is visibly developing because of spreading technologies and visual culture. It is very important to turn scientists’ attention to the meaning of this phenomenon in education process because encoding of the views is getting daily pupils’ need during the learning process. The pupils have to learn from the visual images in science education. Decoding of them conditions the structuring of the mental models in conscious. The quality of knowledge depends on the last mentioned objects. The built model explains the meaning of visual thinking processes in science education. </style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7-13</style></section></record></records></xml>
