SYNONYMIC FEATURES OF EDUCATIONAL TERMS AND THEIR IMPACT ON LEARNING PROCESSES

Abstract

This study delves into the synonymic characteristics of educational terms, examining their linguistic properties and the implications for both teaching and learning effectiveness. By employing a mixed-methods approach that combines a literature review, surveys of educational professionals, and direct classroom observations, we aim to elucidate how synonyms used within educational contexts influence learner comprehension and engagement. The findings indicate that while synonyms can enrich the language of instruction and facilitate varied conceptual representations, their improper usage might lead to confusion and hinder learning processes. Based on these observations, the paper proposes strategic recommendations for optimizing the use of synonyms in educational settings to improve clarity and enhance student learning outcomes.
