🎨 Drawing the Future of Education: When Visual Thinking Meets AI in Sentul

 

🎨 Drawing the Future of Education: When Visual Thinking Meets AI in Sentul

Education is not just about teaching; it’s about transforming how students see the world.
On 6 November 2025, Yayasan Wiba Prima, in collaboration with PPD Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, gathered a hall full of passionate educators to explore a revolutionary approach: combining Visual Thinking and Artificial Intelligence to elevate teaching to the next level.

This Visual Teachers Training Program, led by Dr. Ruzaimi Mat Rani and Coach Amirul Mannan, proved once again that every teacher, regardless of subject or experience, can learn to think, draw, and teach visually.







✏️ Visualization Through Freehand (VTF) – The Art of Thinking Visually

Many teachers believe they can’t draw.
But Dr. Ruzaimi reminded everyone of a powerful truth:

“Everyone can draw, because everyone can think.”

Through the Visualization Through Freehand (VTF) technique, teachers discovered how even the most complex concepts could be simplified using lines, shapes, and visual metaphors. This isn’t about being artistic, it’s about communicating ideas clearly and memorably.

When teachers draw, they don’t just teach; they connect.
Students see concepts come alive before their eyes.


πŸ‘️‍πŸ—¨️ OUC – Observe. Understand. Create.

The OUC Method taught participants how to slow down and see learning differently.

  • Observe: Look closely at the core of what you’re teaching.

  • Understand: Break it down into simple relationships and ideas.

  • Create: Translate those ideas into visuals your students can grasp instantly.

This process trains the teacher’s mind to become a visual thinker, turning lessons into stories, not lectures.


πŸ’» Drawzania.com – A Digital Sketchbook for Every Teacher

Teachers also explored Drawzania.com, a creative platform that helps them find visual references, examples, and teaching templates. It’s a space where ideas flow freely, empowering educators to bring creativity into every classroom.

For many, this was their first time realizing how digital tools can enhance visual pedagogy, combining artistry with technology to make learning more dynamic.

πŸ€– PIDO Prompting – Where AI Becomes Your Co-Teacher

Complementing the visuals was Coach Amirul’s PIDO Framework:
Parameter – Instruction – Details – Output.

This structured prompting method helps teachers use AI tools like ChatGPT as their assistant teacher to brainstorm ideas, create lesson visuals, and even validate their content before class.

When VTF meets PIDO, teaching becomes a collaboration between creativity and technology.
Teachers become designers of learning, supported by AI that helps them plan, polish, and perform with excellence.


🌿 Teaching with Itqan — The Spirit of Excellence

The Quran reminds us:

“And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people, to make things clear for them.” (Surah Ibrahim 14:4)

And Rasulullah ο·Ί said:

“Indeed, Allah loves that when any of you does something, he does it with excellence (itqan).” (Riwayat al-Baihaqi)

When teachers use visuals and AI to make learning clearer, they are living this principle, teaching with itqan, the spirit of excellence.

Visual Teachers is not just a training; it’s a movement of educators striving to teach smarter, not harder.


πŸš€ O – Output (Call to Action)

The Visual Teachers Program continues to grow across Malaysia, empowering teachers to merge creativity, clarity, and technology in their classrooms.

This is not about replacing teachers with AI; it’s about enhancing human creativity with the right tools and mindset.
