The prime purpose of teachers or educators is to aid learners in the achievement of new knowledge and skills. In line with this, the teacher’s constant problem is how to convey to students certain ideas, basic knowledge and information in a most effective way. To achieve this and to help the learner in retaining the knowledge, teaching materials like visual aids are practically essential (Nouri and Shahid, 2010). Visual aids according to Merriam Webster is an instructional device (as a chart, map, or model) that appeals chiefly to vision that is used to make something easier to understand. According to Stoner,(2015) the use of visual aids can better convey what words alone cannot, explain abstract concepts, help retention of information, and can maintain audience’s interest. Visual aids are known to help students to be more engaged in subjects during classes, help retain information, and achieve better comprehension (Rizwana& Muhammad, 2010) A visual stimulant helps students in creating the proper mental image of learning. Oral or printed words usually do not mean much to students until it is translated into a mental image for clearer understanding. The total effect of visual aid is the important factor in the teaching situation (Stavrianeas and Stewart, 2011). Such aids have certain distinct influences on the student and result in a more complete comprehension of the subject. The impact of learning through visual aids may be reflected in the learner’s effective acquisition of nursing student enable them attain new knowledge and skills as well as positive attitude towards achieving certain goal.
