Scaffolding Data for Students

How do you determine when a data visualization requires a deeper, more scaffolded approach for student comprehension?

  • I feel that a data visualization requires a deeper, more scaffolded approach when students are struggling to understand the underlying messages. This usually happens when the visualization is too complicated and most of the time not straightforward about what information the students need to take away, just as we discussed in the session. I also feel that often that finding visualizations for specific topics are very difficult to find and oftentimes especially for world one it is difficult to mind multiple visualizations on the same topic with the same dates. I know it is because they are just estimates and I remind my students that but it is still hard for them to grasp and I get questions all the time which date they should go by.
