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.

Making sense of statistical and probabilistic information in the media texts Pre service teachers critical thinking processes
ÖZEN, MEHTAP; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (2015-02-08)
This study aimed to investigate the critical thinking processes that pre-service middle school mathematics teachers utilize when they intensely engaged with the media text based on statistical and probabilistic information. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with four pre-service middle school mathematics teachers in a public university. The findings of the study pointed out that pre-service middle school mathematics teachers progressed through different critical thinking processes, including c...
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 ...
