Audiovisual education is an educational approach in which teaching and learning are intentionally supported through combined visual and auditory media, such as video, animation, narrated presentations, film, sound recordings, and interactive multimedia [1][2][3][4]. It refers to the structured pedagogical use of these media to present content, guide attention, improve comprehension, and support memory through coordinated image–sound processing rather than text-only or speech-only delivery [1][2]. Audiovisual education is characterized by planned instructional design (e.g., sequencing, signaling, pacing, and narration quality), alignment with learning objectives, and integration into formal learning activities and assessment [2][3][4]. In this sense, it is not merely showing media in class, but using audiovisual communication as a systematic instructional mode to facilitate understanding and learning performance [1][2][3][4].
