This qualitative study explores the lessons learned from experts who use data visualization in evaluation. Findings suggest that collaborative communication with stakeholders--such as identifying needs, managing expectations, and determining the story to tell--is important before initiating the visualization process. Additionally, evaluators are…

Visual diagrams are ubiquitous elements in science communication and science teaching. We can find them in texts from any area of knowledge. However, more studies are required to understand the mechanisms that make them useful tools for sharing information. This research, from an information design perspective, analyzes visual diagrams by…

In an era increasingly defined by the proliferation of big data and its transformative impact on decision-making across disciplines, the ability to interpret and engage with complex datasets has become an essential skill for future generations. This literature review reconceptualises data visualisation through the lens of school education and…

The sharp increase in dementia and age-related memory impairments worldwide has made reminiscence-based interventions attractive. Past research is mixed with little focus on self-functioning. The aims of this study were (i) to develop and assess the implementation of a reminiscence-based intervention, Digital Life Story Books, grounded in…

A single discrete random variable is depicted by a stick diagram, a 2D picture. Naturally, to visualize a bivariate discrete distribution, one can use a bivariate stick diagram, a 3D picture. Unfortunately, many students have difficulty understanding and processing 3D pictures. Therefore, we construct an alternative 2D disc plot to depict the…

Penciling, a technique used to anonymize images for both human and machine vision, offers an opportunity to reduce technical traceability and retain visual data for online and social media research contexts. Drawing on methods for creating composite narrative and visual accounts to preserve participant anonymity, penciling enables researchers to…

Being able to call on students during class increases the likelihood of instructor immediacy. As a result, due to a decrease of distance between students and the instructor which may increase the likelihood of creating an inclusive environment. An inclusive pedagogical strategy that has been shown to be effective in knowing student names is the…

In today's world, where sustainable development has gained global precedence, cultivating environmental awareness among younger generations has become a central objective of education. This study seeks to develop instructional posters enriched with science cartoons to enhance middle school students' understanding of environmental sustainability. A…

Email filters classify new messages as either spam or not spam based on word frequency, syntax, and metadata. A "classifier" is an algorithm that maps input data into categories based on distinguishing characteristics, or "features." Features can be raw data or attributes derived from that data. "Feature engineering"…

In putting posthuman theories to work, we shift our gaze beyond the human in two early education classrooms to imagine walls as palimpsests. By thinking-with palimpsests, we imagine walls as multi-layered agentic objects that do more than hold shifting configurations of documentation. Thinking-with walls as palimpsests enables us to make-sense of…

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between lexical coverage and TV viewing comprehension. Previous studies have indicated that 95% to 98% of lexical coverage may be needed for reading comprehension (Hu & Nation, 2000). To understand informal listening passages, lower coverage figures (95%-90%) may suffice. However, no study has…

In this article we consider the use of visual images to assess perceptions of plants. Using data drawn from a Swedish study we review our choices regarding the type of image used, and the responses they provoked. Furthermore, we consider these choices in the light of other studies, propose a tentative model of levels of seeing, and call for…

Designing and delivering an oral poster presentation is becoming very common for undergraduate students to showcase their research, whether it be in conferences, symposiums, and/or poster sessions; however, there is limited published evidence on how to successfully develop and make a presentation. This article demonstrates how undergraduate…

This study investigates iMessage Tapbacks (e.g., [heart], [thumb up], !!) as "sequence-closing seconds," or minimal responses that fulfill conversational obligations in text-based group chats. Through conversation analysis of three group conversations, the analysis demonstrates how Tapbacks operate as efficient second pair-parts (2pps)…

Technological advances mean that it is now possible to represent the entire 360° view of the horizon to a submarine periscope operator simultaneously, in strips on a single display, as opposed to the restricted view offered through a conventional periscope aperture. Initial research showing performance improvements for such panoramic displays is…
