Study Notes

Textos Discontinuos

Textos discontinuos son aquellos que presentan una organización diferente a la textual lineal, secuencial, de los textos continuos.
Se caracterizan por la presencia de elementos visuales, gráficos, imágenes, tablas, mapas, diagramas, etc., que complementan o reemplazan al texto escrito.
Su objetivo principal es transmitir información de manera ágil, visual y comprensible, ideal para la visualización de datos y la organización de información compleja.
They often require active interpretation and analysis to extract the core message.

Tipos de Textos Discontinuos

Diagramas: Visualizations that use lines, boxes, and other shapes to represent connections and relationships between concepts or items. Different types include flowcharts, concept maps, and organizational charts.
Gráficos: Visual representations of data, often using charts or graphs such as line graphs, bar graphs, pie charts, scatter plots, etc. Purpose is data presentation and trend analysis.
Mapas: Representations of geographical areas, often focusing on spatial relationships and locations. They can be physical, thematic (showing specific data like population density), or political.
Imágenes: Photos, illustrations, and other visual elements used to clarify, exemplify, or enhance understanding. Can act as essential components driving the underlying message of non-linear texts.
Tablas: Organized display of data or information in rows and columns, allowing for structured presentation and comparisons.
Mapas conceptuales: Visual representations of concepts, their relationships, and hierarchy, facilitating understanding and knowledge organization.

Análisis Visual de Información

Identificación: First step of analyzing visuals; involves recognizing, differentiating, and labelling elements within the image. This can include identifying symbols, key data points, and general structure.
Descripción: Details the visual in an objective way. Note colors, shapes, sizes, positions, and relationships between parts. This helps to extract a literal description of the visual aid.
Interpretación: Process moves beyond literal description to highlight meanings and connections. Analysis needs to consider context and possible implications.
Inferencia: Draws conclusions based on patterns, trends, and relationships. It involves making educated guesses from given evidence and identifying underlying messages conveyed beyond textual information alone.
Evaluación: Ultimately, involves judging the effectiveness of the visual as a form of communication. This involves understanding how well the information is presented and the appropriate choices of visual cues (color, position, etc.). Factors in determining appropriate visual choices for communication include the target audience and the message to be conveyed.
Comparación: Assessing the visual by contrasting it to other visuals or texts about the same topic. This helps to uncover details that might have been missed by viewing the image in isolation. This can evaluate patterns, similarities, and differences.
