Since the 1960s,with the rising popularity of digital media around the world, visuality has become one of our major means of expression. With the "visual turn" in social sciences, or a shift in emphasis toward an increasing concern with the importance of the visual, researchers also started to pay more attention to visual materials in education history. Visual materials provide graphic records of events, people, and places in education history. They are rich in metaphorical connotations and can help reconstruct the past in a way that enables us to witness it in person. When conducting historical research on education, we should use data triangulation, or collect a variety of historical data including both visual and textual materials, as well as archives, oral history and memories, etc. We also need to adopt semiotic and content analysis methodologies to interpret those visual materials from an interdisciplinary and multi-dimensional perspective. Furthermore, we should perform "phenomenological reduction" to reconstruct the past as people of the time visualized the world(or imagined it to be).
