Abstract: This paper takes a critical and in-depth analysis of visualization as a teaching methodology which enhances assimilation of knowledge by students. This methodology was developed by a Community development Lecturer and has been proved to be very effective in teaching students through a participatory approach coupled with visualization and the field work approach as investigative learning experience. It is recommended that teachers of the social sciences and adult educators adopt this approach to enhance assimilation of knowledge, encoding of information and thus, enable students impact positively on their world after graduation.
