  1. 1. Towards Visual Literacy in School : Interactions between Students and Interactive Visualizations in Social Science Classrooms

    Författare :Ulrika Bodén; Linnéa Stenliden; Jörgen Nissen; Annika Lantz-Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Design-based research; Interactive visualizations; Knowledge visualizations; Multimodality; Social science education; Socio-materiality; Visual analytics; Visual literacy; Designbaserad forskning; Interaktiva visualiseringar; Kunskapsvisualiseringar; Samhällsorienterande undervisning; Socio-materialitet; Visuell litteracitet;

    Sammanfattning : This compilation thesis explores how the double aspect of visual literacy is enacted in secondary schools’ social science classrooms when interactive data visualizations are employed. The aim is to map what characterizes ‘reading’ interactive data visualizations and ‘writing’ knowledge visualizations, as well as implications for a didactic design supporting students’ visual literacy.

  3. 2. Visual thinking, visual speech : a semiotic perspective on meaning-making in molecular life science : how visualizations, metaphors and help-words contribute to the formation of knowledge about proteins among upper secondary and tertiary level students

    Författare :Carl-Johan Rundgren; Lena A E Tibell; Richard Hirsch; Ute Harms; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Molecular life science; visualizations; metaphors; help-words; Subject didactics; Ämnesdidaktik;

    Sammanfattning : Molecular life science has become one of the fastest-growing fields of scientific and technical innovation. An important issue for tomorrow’s education is to meet the challenge posed by various facets of molecular life science. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Static Visualizations for Dynamic Hierarchies

    Författare :Wiebke Köpp; Tino Weinkauf; Vijay Natarajan; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dynamic hierarchies; Static visualization; Pixel-based visualization; Scalar data; Topology; Layout stability; Dynamiska hierarkier; Statisk visualisering; Pixelbaserad visualisering; Skalärdata; Topologi; Layout-stabilitet; Datalogi; Computer Science;

    Sammanfattning : Dynamic hierarchical data describes phenomena in a wide range of domains, from file management to demographics and business administration, as well as feature extraction results in spatial scientific data. As with all data, visualization is an integral step for gaining understanding about dynamic hierarchical data. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Evolving germs – Antibiotic resistance and natural selection in education and public communication

    Författare :Gustav Bohlin; Lena A. E. Tibell; Gunnar Höst; Jörg Zabel; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; natural selection; antibiotic resistance; visualizations; content analysis; threshold concepts; scientific literacy; media analysis;

    Sammanfattning : Bacterial resistance to antibiotics threatens modern healthcare on a global scale. Several actors in society, including the general public, must become more involved if this development is to be countered. The conveyance of relevant information provided through education and media reports is therefore of high concern. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Perceptually Motivated Constraints on 3D Visualizations

    Författare :Camilla Forsell; Mats Lind; Thomas Porathe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Människa-dator-interaktion; Perception; 3D; Human-Computer Interaction; Information visualization; User studies; Människa-dator-interaktion;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis addresses some important characteristics of human visual perception and their implications for three-dimensional (3D) information visualization. The effort can be divided into two parts. First, findings from vision science are explored and validated. LÄS MER
