Abstract:

Formal education is generally associated with institutions such as: kindergartens, schools, high schools, universities with which people interact from an early age and from which they expect to receive a "good education". Formal education can be complemented by other extracurricular activities aimed at developing the individual in a certain direction. Regardless of the institution or the way knowledge is acquired, we can say that the learning process is very complex and is generally based on verbal and non-verbal communication between teacher and student. Cognitive processes can be stimulated by using images, sounds, animations that have led to the development of traditional learning techniques. In this article we aim to emphasize the role of animations in the teaching-learning process, emphasizing their influence on the quality of information transmission. Another aspect addressed in this paper is the efficiency of using animations in online teaching. More than ever, given that there was no interaction between teacher and student, animations and 3D models were an indisputable support in the transmission of information. They can be used in many fields and at different levels of education.
