3. The Benefits of Graphic Organizers

Graphic organizers research 2005 states that: The benefit of graphic organizers across several content areas Science, social studies, mathematics, Spanish as second language, vocabulary, reading, and writing, multi grade level first through senior high school, and different students populations regular education students and students with learning disabilities have been verified in the 29 experimental and quasi-experimental SBR cited throughout this paper. All of the studies included in this review have shown that using graphic organizers led to improve student performance as measured by various forms of assessments classroom-based, observation, textbook, and standardized. Graphic organizers also have found to result in superior student performance when compared with more traditional forms of instruction e.g., lecture, linear note taking, questionanswering. In addition, Cleveland 2005: 3 states that: Graphic organizers are great tools when you are reading-they can help you through a poem, a story, a biography or an informational article. Organizers help you analyze what you are reading. You can use them to recognize patterns in your reading, such as indentifying main idea of a story or an article, and finding details that support the main idea. They can help you to compare and contrast things within a story or between two stories. They can even be useful after you read. You can use them to organize your notes and figure out the most important point. More over, Education Department 2004 states that Graphic organizers enable teachers to show and explain relationships between content and sub content and how they in turn relate to other content areas. On the other hand, through the use of the organizers, students can make more abstract comparisons, evaluations, and conclusions. In short, graphic organizers allow students an active role in their learning. commit to user 27
