ANALYZING THE IMPACT OF VISUAL COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES ON REDUCING CULTURAL BIASES AND IMPROVING RESPECT FOR DIVERSITY: THE MODERATING EFFECT OF PERCEPTIONS

This study examines how Visual Communication Strategies (VCS) influence the reduction of cultural biases and the promotion of respect for diversity in multicultural educational settings. The role of perceptions as a moderating factor in this relationship is also explored. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, involving 200 students and 40 teachers. Quantitative results reveal significant improvements in cultural bias reduction and diversity respect after implementing VCS, while qualitative insights underscore the importance of culturally relevant visuals. Graphical data further illustrate these findings, emphasizing the moderating effect of perceptions on the effectiveness of VCS. The study provides actionable recommendations for integrating VCS into educational practices.
