Media that encourage abstract experiences typically involve ways of thinking and representing ideas that go beyond concrete or tangible interactions. Among the options provided:
-
Working with models - This can involve physical representations of concepts but may not necessarily encourage abstract thinking as strongly as other forms.
-
Photographs - While photographs can convey abstract ideas, they are often more concrete in nature, capturing specific moments or objects.
-
Language (written and spoken) - Language is a strong medium for abstract thought. It allows for the expression of complex ideas, ideas about hypothetical scenarios, and the discussion of concepts that may not have a physical representation.
-
Dramatisation by learners - This can also encourage abstract thinking, as learners interpret, improvise, and infuse meaning into scenarios that may not be grounded in reality.
Given these considerations, language (written and spoken) is the option that most directly encourages abstract experiences.
