GRAPHICAL AIDS
INTRODUCTION
“A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS”
A graphical presentation is a visual art based on the use of visual symbolic and
visual-abstract forms. It is somewhat less abstract than words, numbers and
formulae, more abstract than pictorial materials. Graphical presentation enables
one to give form and structure to ideas and numbers. The visual pattern is based
on a differentiation of shape, color, separation and composition and on how these
patterns are arranged in line, shape, and color. For example: A map is more
concrete and less abstract than line drawing.

Definition
Chart is defined as a visual aid which depicts pictorial and written key
information in systematic way to summarize, compare.
For Example: Anatomical charts and figure, diagrams etc.
Charts are the graphical aids depicting information in the form of tables,
pictures graphic and diagram.

Purpose
Charts serve the following
To visualize an item, it is otherwise difficult to explain only in words
To highlight important points
To provide outline for materials covered in presentation
To show continuity in process
For creating problems and stimulate critical thinking
For showing development of structure
For presenting material symbolically
For summarizing information
For presenting abstract ideas in visual form
For encouraging the utilization of other media of communication
For motivating the students
Types of Charts
Narrative Chart
Arrangement of facts and ideas for expressing the events in the process
or development of a significant issue to its point of resolution of we can show
an improvement over a period of years.
For Example.
Technological improvement over a period of years such as innovations in
cardiac monitoring.
The events in the development of a significant issue to its point of resolution
or to present status
Patient’s Chart

Chain Chart
Arrangement of facts and ideas for expressing transition or cycles in the
form of circles or semicircles.
For Example.
Transitions such as transition from raw materials to finished products.
Cycles such as citric acid cycle.
EMERGENCY

EVALUATION
MONITORING
Evolution Chart
Facts and Ideas for expressing changes in specific items from beginning
data and its projections into future.
For Example
Origin of mental health nursing and its subsequent development and future
trends.
EVOLUTION OF ADMINISTRATIVE NURSING DATA.
The information on the chart is covered with thin paper strips to which it
has been applied either by wax, tape or sticky substance or pins, tags can also be
used.
For Example :
TYPES OF AV AIDS
CHARTS
Pull Charts
It consists of written messages which are hidden by strips of thick
paper. The messages can be shown to the viewer, one after another by pulling
out the concealing strip.
For Example :
CAUSES OF DIABETES MELLTUS
Causes of Type 1
Diabetes
Mellitus
TYPE II Diabetes
TYPE I Diabetes
Gestation Diabetes

It is a useful aid for showing points of comparison, distinctions and
contrasts between two or more things.
While making table charts, the following points must be kept in mind.
The vertical columns should be filled in short phrases rather than complete
sentences.
Write different contrasting features with different colour felt pens or marked
pens.
For Example.
MEDICATION &
DATE TIME NOTES
TREATMENT
Genealogy Chart
For Example
Legend
: Client
: Female
: Male
: Death
: Sickness
: Couple
Tree Chart
A chart made in form of branches from the trunk of a tree such that
representing the main idea while the branches represent various development
relationship of subparts of the main idea.
For Example
FAMILY TREE
Pie Chart
A circle will be drawn and the divisions will be made into different sections
each section will be coded differently and code key will be given at right corner of
the chart as a legend. The circumference is divided into suitable sections. It is
relevant for showing the component parts of the total.
For Example
For Example
Job Chart
Job responsibilities of specific categories will be listed out and circulated
among members.

Overlay Chart
It consists of illustrated sheets which can be placed one over the other
conveniently and in succession. The drawing or illustration on each sheet forms a
part of the whole picture. It enables the viewers to see not only the different
parts but also to see them against total perspective when one is place over the
other. When the final overlay chart is placed the ultimate product is exposed to
view.
For Example
A stream chart is the graphical aid showing the main thought, idea, concept
in the form of main river and its subparts in the form of tributaries coming out of
it.
For Example:
Wall chart
A wall chart is a large chart on which words or a text are written in letters
large enough for a group read. The chart usually hangs on a wall.
Window chart
In the flaps cover the messages and when the message is to be shown,
the presented open the flaps like windows. It creates suspense in the audience.
Preparation of Charts
Materials Required
The size of letters for the captions, labels and keywords written on a
chart should be between 2 and 3 cm for a classroom of depth 6 m. The
thickness of the lines should be between 2 and 3 mm size of letters 1 inch
for 32 feet and 2 inch for 64 inch.
Flat pictures and other material from books should be enlarged sufficiently
before placing on charts.
One chart should convey just one idea or one principle. Charts crowed with
information are less effective.
The teacher should make sure that there is a provision for hanging the chart
at a vantage point.
Teacher should use a pointer to point our specific facts in the chart.
It can create visual effects revelation, over lay effect, flow effect and
magical effect.
Pie charts are essential for presenting statistical information.
Quick way for the audience to visualize what you are saying – numbers,
trends, by down.
Forceful – emphasizes main point hear. Convincing – proves a point, see
and compact way to convey information.
More interesting than just talk or print.
Disadvantages
Time consuming to make – decision must be made in advance for lay out,
color, materials etc.
Technical in nature – audience knowledge to interpret, or understand.
Costly – depending on the medium used.
Conclusion:
Knowledge regarding preparing and use of charts is necessary for a teacher to
teach effectively which enhances learning of a student / learner.
GRAPHS
INTRODUCTION
Graphs are the visual teaching aids for presenting statistical
information and contrasting the trends or changes of certain attributes, graphs
make presentation of quantitative data easily interpretative and readily
understood. A huge data and long list of figure is always boring but the same
represented by a graph captures and makes students think. A good graph can give
a lot of information just by shooting a glance at it. Extract stratifications depict
specifically quantitative data for analysis, comparison and interpretation.
DEFINITION.
It depicts numerical or quantitative relationship or statistical data are
presented in the form of visual symbols.
A graph is a image that represents data symbolically. A graph is used to
present complex information and numerical data in a single, compact
format.
A diagram (as a series of one or more points lines, line segments, curves or
areas) that represents the variation of a variable in comparison with that of
one or more other variables.
A diagram representing a system of connections or interrelations among
two or more things by a number of distinctive dots, lines, bars etc
Two dimensional drawing showing a relationship by means of a line, curve,
a series of bars, or other symbols.
PURPOSES
o To visually display information.
o To interpret and analyze data.
o To be able to see it clearly.
o To improve or change something what you know to use.
o It shows the past, current and possibly the future. (predication)
o To interpret graphs and determine which graph is best suited for the
data.
TYPES OF GRAPH
The types of Graph are
TYPES
PIE GRAPH
The alternative names for pie graph or distribution graph, pie diagram and circle
diagram.
The graph is usually shown as a disc (resembling a pie) or circle divided into
sectors of different angles to represent the fractions or percentages of the divisions of a
distributive attribute.
It is excellent for showing the component part of the total.
METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
The total frequencies or value is equated to 360 degree and then the angles
corresponding to component parts are calculated.
Draw the circle on a chart paper of full size using a big compass carrying
a sketch or marker pen.
Divide the circle into appropriate sections using the protractor.
BAR GRAPH
Each bar must be of the same width, height of the bar over a period represents
the corresponding time of the variable.
Forms
Vertical
Horizontal
Types
Splitting the column into sections to show the break down of data. A
compound bar graph is a bar graph that compares two or more quantities
simultaneously. A compound bar graph is useful to express two or more quantities on
one graph
Extended or sub divided bar diagram
For example
Use two different color shades for the two contrasting groups.
Numbers specifying the magnitude of the bars should be on the top of the bars.
A pictorial graph consists of pictures of the same type but of different sizes,
proportionate to the magnitude of the attributes being represented. It may be made with
the pictures of same size but different in number to represent different magnitudes.
For Example
Column Graph
Column graph looks like a bar graph turned on end, it has two scales. One
measured across the graph (usually time) and one measuring up or down (usually
quantity). This means that every point on such a graph is measured from both scales.
For Example
Surface Graph
Surface graph are presented with perspective and shading. The surface graph
connects each plotted point to the next, like column graphs, they join each point to the
base. This is done with continuous shaded bands or “surface” instead of separated
uprights as is done in the column graph.
For Example
Line graph or curve graph
Line graph are often used to plot changes in data over time. It is form of graph in
which the plotted points are connected to one another instead of to the base, thus
producing the curve. The line graph is widely used in charting data bout patients. (ie)
temperature graph.
For Example
s
Cumulative frequency graph.
A line graph drawn by plotting upper limits of the class interval on the X-
axis and the respective cumulative frequencies on Y-axis.
For Example
Frequency polygon
For Example
O-Give
To determine quickly and accurately the statistical data like percentile, median,
quartile deviation can be used.
For Example
GUIDELINES FOR FORMATTING GRAPHS AND CHARTS.
Present only essential information. Avoid three- dimensional bars that confuse
the leader. If the graph or chart is too complex, it will not clearly communicate the
important points.
Need a legend if there is too much information to label each part of the chart
or graph. Use different colours or variations in patterns to help the reader distinguish
categories and understand the graph and chart.
Advantages of graph.
It saves time.
It is easy to read.
Disadvantages of graph.
Less accurate.
Misinterpretation.
Time consuming.
Technical in nature.
Costly.
Conclusion.
Now, you have learned how to gather data and how to construct graph. Graphs makes
learning interesting.
DIAGRAMS
Diagrams are a visual description that explains rather than interpret. The teachers
prefer to draw diagrams on the chalkboard deeding the course of lesson itself which
can result in the loss of efficiency in teaching.
Definition
A graphic design that explains rather than represents, especially a drawing that
shows arrangement and relation.
Purpose
Diagrams illustrate concepts and ideas by using shapes rather than words.
To make it relevant.
To simply teaching.
Principles.
Make the diagram large enough to be seen simultaneously by the whole class.
Include only the essential and relevant parts of diagram which pertain to topic.
Technically correct.
Advantages
Active
clear
Real / purposeful
Relevant
Empowering
Disadvantages.
Misunderstanding.
MAPS
The top of every map is not north, but the direction of northern pole is north.
Maps are valuable graphic aids if abstract ideas of distances, sizes, directions, of
different places, region and land, world and universe are to be put into concrete reality.
The types of maps are globe, room planetarium and flat map.
Definition of map
relationships between elements of that space such as objects, regions and themes.
A map is drawing of an area or country showing rivers, roads, cities etc.
Purpose of map
To understand surroundings.
Principles of Map
Types of maps
Political maps
These maps show political divisions of the world, content, a nation etc. in
such maps, the political boundaries are drawn prominently.
For Example
Physical Maps
These maps show the physical contours of a place, area, region, country etc.
For example
Relief Maps
These maps show the actual elevations and depressions in a place, area, region,
country etc
For Example
Road maps
These maps show the roads of a region connecting various parts and points
together.
For Example
Picture maps or Tourist maps
These maps show the historical spots, scenic spots, monumental sites,
sanctuaries and other spots of tourist interest.
For Example
Population Maps
For Example
Weather maps
These maps show the mount of rains, temperature, extremes, humidity and other
weather conditions of a place, area, region, country etc.
For Example
Railway maps
For Example
Sea Route map.
These maps show the sea routes between various sea ports.
For Example
Air Map:
For Example
Advantage of map
It is easy to carry.
Maps allows teacher to enlarge areas of the world so that students can see the
Using different kinds of maps together students connect the things on the maps
Disadvantage of map
Variations within each area are hidden, particularly if a wide data range is
used.
