Abstract

Scientific texts generally use visual presentations (graphs, diagrams, photos, tables, etc.) to help learners to learn a subject. Diagrams are the effective learning tools containing long headings, explanatory labels, arrows and coding in colours Process diagrams are used more commonly in course books. This paper aims to determine the learning activities and learning styles students use in learning through process diagrams and to analyse the effects of learning activities and learning styles on learning achievement. 23 prospective teachers were included in the research. Santa Barbara Learning Style Questionnaire, eye tracking technique, think aloud protocol and Remembering and Effect Evaluation Form were applied to the participants for data collection. It was found through analyses that the participants used such learning activities as giving meaning to process arrows and self-questioning more frequently. It was also found that the participants who spent more time in fixation time main achieved more success in learning.
