Statistical graphs are important means for communication as well as for visual analysis of data in science and scientific education. In this paper we focus on graphs co-presented with verbal material in visual and auditory sensory modality. In particular we study the role of annotation use by investigating the learning outcomes (i.e., visual and verbal recall and transfer) as well as eye movement characteristics in the use of text-graph documents. Results of the experimental study favoured the use of annotated graphs with accompanying narrative verbal material over other constellations. Additionally, other parameters, which could affect learning, are proposed for future research.

Investigation of pre-service mathematics teachers' critical thinking processes through stattistical and probabilistic knowledge in the context of popular media texts Özen, Mehtap; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013) The aim of the study is to investigate pre-service middle school mathematics teachers’ critical thinking processes through statistical and probabilistic knowledge in the context of popular media texts. The study was conducted with a qualitative case study method. Participants of the study consisted of four senior pre-service middle school mathematics teachers enrolled in a public university. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the participants. Analysis of the data was conducted on the basi...
Eye tracking in multimodal comprehension of graphs Acartürk, Cengiz (2012-07-31) Eye tracking methodology has been a major empirical research approach for the study of online comprehension processes in reading and scene viewing. The use of eye tracking methodology for the study of diagrammatic representations, however, has been relatively limited so far. The investigation of specific types of diagrammatic representations, such as statistical graphs is even scarce. In this study, we propose eye tracking as an empirical research approach for a systematic analysis of multimodal comprehensi...
Anthropological analysis of content knowledge of pre-service elementary mathematics teachers on graphs DİKKARTIN ÖVEZ, FİLİZ TUBA; Akar, Nazlı (2018-02-01) The purpose of this study is to analyse the content knowledge on graphs of pre-service elementary mathematics teachers from an anthropological perspective. 112 pre-service elementary mathematics teachers participated in the study. Concentric mixed pattern research method has been used in the study. The data was collected through Graphic Content Knowledge Scale and interview method in order to examine the content knowledge of primary school math teacher candidates related to graphics anthropologically. This ...
Parameter estimation in generalized partial linear models with Tikhanov regularization Kayhan, Belgin; Karasözen, Bülent; Department of Scientific Computing (2010) Regression analysis refers to techniques for modeling and analyzing several variables in statistical learning. There are various types of regression models. In our study, we analyzed Generalized Partial Linear Models (GPLMs), which decomposes input variables into two sets, and additively combines classical linear models with nonlinear model part. By separating linear models from nonlinear ones, an inverse problem method Tikhonov regularization was applied for the nonlinear submodels separately, within the e...
Towards a systematic understanding of graphical cues in communication through statistical graphs Acartürk, Cengiz (2014-04-01) Statistical graphs in particular, line graphs and bar graphs are efficient means of communication in a wide range of non-expert settings. In communication settings, statistical graphs do not only serve as visualizations of individual data points but also provide visual access to various aspects of the information contained in data. Moreover, specific types of graphs are better means for providing visual access to certain aspects of data. For instance, trend information is visually conveyed through line grap...
