The Effect of Binary Encoding Strategy on Visual Thinking and overall Psychology among Third Grade Students in the Faculty of Education in Learning Technology Subject

Abstract

    The importance of the current research lies in the fact that it comes as a result of what contemporary studies call for, which is the development of the human mind in all its aspects. This is achieved through teaching binary coding, which involves encouraging students to use their mental abilities and various thinking skills to learn better. It gives them the opportunity to organize ideas, meanings and clarify the relationships contained in a particular subject of the educational material. It helps students organize their knowledge in order to deepen their understanding. The current research aims to determine the effect of binary coding strategy on the achievement of third-year students of the College of Education in the learning technology course. 

The researcher used the quasi-experimental design consisting of an experimental and a control group. The experimental group studied using the binary coding strategy while the control group studied using the traditional method. An achievement test  was developed and validated to measure students' achievement. 

The results using the t-test showed that the experimental group that studied using the binary coding strategy outperformed the control group that studied using the conventional method. In light of the research results, the researcher recommended the necessity of using the binary coding strategy. The researcher also presented a number of recommendations and proposals, most notably conducting similar studies on other educational stages. As well as identifying the impact of using the binary coding strategy on other variables, such as critical thinking, innovative thinking, visual thinking and visual perception.
