Tóm tắt
Many published studies of graph comprehension have indicated that information gleaned from a graph is greatly influenced by the representation in the graph. Graphical representations of data should be consistent with the contents of the verbal explanation of those data. The present study investigated whether individuals who were engaging daily in academic activities using graphs (expert graph users), science graduates (semi-experts), and liberal arts undergraduates (non-experts) could generate graphs consistent with verbal explanations of data. The results of Experiment 1 suggested that expert graph users and science graduates could generate such graphs. On the other hand, in Experiment 2, undergraduates did not do so. The results of Experiment 3 suggested the possibility that presenting examples of possible graphs might result in improvement in the graph selections by undergraduates. © 2013, The Japanese Association of Educational Psychology.
