Скрайбінг як інноваційний спосіб візуалізації навчального матеріалу у процесі викладання української мови як іноземної / Scribing as an innovative method of visualizing educational material in the process of teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language

The article is devoted to the theoretical and practical aspects of applying scribing technology for the visualization of educational material in the process of teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language. Particular emphasis is placed on distinguishing between the concepts of visual aids and demonstrative aids, noting that a demonstrative aid functions as an object or image, whereas a visual aid represents a mandatory final outcome — a product of an individual’s cognitive activity. It is substantiated that under conditions of the pervasive presence of modern information technologies, intensive information flows, and the formation of so-called “clip thinking” among learners, visualization facilitates comprehension, assimilation, and retention of educational content, enhances learning skills, increases learning motivation, and contributes to the development of critical thinking. The advantages of employing this technology in the educational process are examined, and the necessity of developing specific skills for visualizing educational information is emphasized. The concept of scribing is elucidated, and a theoretical justification for the feasibility of implementing this innovative information visualization technology in the process of teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language is provided. A classification of scribing is presented according to defined criteria, in particular by the form of visual engagement (hand-drawn, appliqué-based, magnetic, flannel board) and by the mode of temporal representation (scribing facilitation, video scribing, computer-based scribing). It is argued that this method of information visualization offers broad prospects for the linguistic training of foreign learners. The study reviews digital services that provide sets of instructional visual aids and libraries of visual objects from which users can select materials according to thematic needs or create customized applications. At the same time, instructors are not required to possess programming skills, as these services are intuitive, user-friendly, and easy to operate.
