Content analysis was used on the data analysis. Based on the research findings, teachers stated that visual media enhances permanent learning, facilitates understanding, increases interest and curiosity and saves time. On the other hand, teachers may encounter several problems while using visual media, such as insufficiency of technological hardware, lack of subject-based images, existing visuals not being economical. According to the results of research, some recommendations have been made, which were supposed to contribute to increase the use of visual media while teaching topics, concepts and achievements in the science and technology course.
