The three elements in visual thinking continuum are visual thinking, visual learning and visual communication. This research is a quantitative design involving quantitative and qualitative data.

There are 29 samples students, from teacher training first degree program in one of Malaysian public universities. The research data were analyzed by inferential and descriptive statistical analysis. Research findings through paired-sample t-test showed that there is a significant difference between scores of mean for the pre-test and post-test (p< 0.05) and shows positive student’s perception towards authentic learning environment. All students have experienced positive growth in their level of visualization through authentic learning environment activities which based on visual thinking elements. Therefore, it can be concluded that the visual-based website has helped to enhance the students’ performance and visualization levels.
