Didactic Image, Its Importance, Conditions and Controls for Its Use

Abstract

The integration of visual arts into the educational learning process contributes to enhancing scientific awareness and aligning with  developments in educational philosophy and global education systems. Among the visual arts, the image plays a vital role in education by  fostering learners' emotional, physical, psychological, cognitive, and mental development. Whether fixed or animated, images convey both denotative and connotative meanings, making abstract concepts easier to understand. This has led to the didactic image being  recognized as a crucial pedagogical tool in teaching and learning, with its effectiveness depending on proper selection and usage. This  article discusses the role of visual arts, particularly images, in the educational process, and their significance in improving language  learning. The study aims to: Clarify the relationship between visual arts and education; Identify the requirements and conditions for using  didactic images in teaching; Highlight the importance of images in advancing didactic research; Explore how images can enhance  the teaching of the Arabic language. The descriptive-analytical approach was used to explore the topic.
