1. Description of the Innovative Chart activity conducted to the relevant topic

The innovative chart activity conducted aimed to enhance students' understanding of various
types of decision-making processes. Participants were tasked with creating visual charts that
depicted different decision-making models, such as rational decision making, intuitive decision
making, and collaborative decision making at the topic of container handling equipments.
Through this hands-on approach, students actively engaged with the material, visually
representing the key components and steps involved in each decision-making type. This activity
not only reinforced theoretical concepts but also allowed students to apply their knowledge in a
creative manner. The charts served as effective visual aids, aiding in the retention and
comprehension of diverse decision-making approaches into the container handling procedures.
Overall, the innovative chart activity provided a dynamic and interactive method for students to
explore and internalize the intricacies of decision-making models.
2. Benefits of ‘Chart Activity’ method

organization, communication, and critical thinking, contributing to the overall development of
students' cognitive abilities and decision-making competencies.
3. Methodology
1. Create an outline or frame: Begin by establishing the basic structure or framework for your
chart, outlining key sections or categories that align with the topic or concept being visualized.
2. Add a heading: Clearly label your chart with a concise and informative heading that captures
the main theme or purpose of the visual representation.
3. Adding images or drawing pictures: Enhance understanding by incorporating relevant images
or illustrations that complement the content, providing a visual aid to reinforce key concepts.
4. Creative writing ideas and thinking: Encourage creative expression by incorporating written
elements, such as annotations, captions, or creative descriptions, to stimulate innovative
thinking and enhance the overall narrative.
5. Talk it through with the students: Foster engagement and discussion by verbally walking
through the chart with the students, elaborating on each component and encouraging questions
and insights.
6. Hang your chart where students can see it: Display the completed chart in a prominent and
accessible location within the learning environment, facilitating continuous reinforcement of the
material for students and serving as a reference point for discussions and further exploration.
