随着图像化技术和电子媒体的发展，视觉学习也逐步发展为学习科学的一个研究分支，得到研究人员和教育工作者的广泛关注。基于此，作者试图对视觉学习的相关研究进行梳理和总结。文章首先对视觉学习的内涵及其研究的发展和目标进行概述；接着梳理了视觉学习研究的主要内容，包括视觉学习的基本过程、视觉学习的符号系统、基于视觉学习的教学研究、视觉化技术的教育应用等四个方面，并对其研究成果以及相关典型案例进行了介绍；最后，文章还评析了视觉学习研究的特点及其对我国视觉学习研究的启示。

Perceiving the world and acquiring information through vision is an important way to learn for most. With the development of image technologies and electronic medium, we can now access more visual information. Its application in teaching and learning has increased daily. In addition, the research about visual learning has been widely considered as a branch of learning sciences. Thus, the authors attempt to systemically review and synthesize related researches about visual learning. The paper first outlines the definition of visual learning, the development and purpose of the research about visual learning, and then summarizes the key researches, including the basic processes, the sign system, the instruction, and the educational application of visual technologies, along with much research results and typical cases. Finally, we point out the features of researches about visual learning and explore implications for its research in China.
