The research suggests that when students draw a scientific concept, such as a sound wave, they understand it better. But just as important as their understanding, perhaps, drawing helps them feel more engaged and excited about learning.
I don't know if it helps adult learning outside of science, but I believe that doodling assists me in staying engaged. It went from doodling to games on my phone. The games create a negative mental model for others in the room, so I made a commitment to the ELT to discontinue that practice. Now, when I have paper I doodle. I think I'll start paying closer attention to the doodles to see of they are in any way connected to the conversations.
