My first time at the Gordon Research Conference on Visualization in Science Education was years ago as a graduate student. This year, I had the honour of being an invited speaker.
I spoke about the importance of integrating graphing into inquiry science, and the possibilities this presents for supporting and understanding students’ science learning.
It was a pleasure to be part of this diverse and welcoming community of learning scientists, cognitive psychologists, journalists, chemists, biologists, engineers, museum professionals, designers, computer scientists (…!), and to hear their perspectives on the issues and opportunities of visualization in science education. Nothing makes the connections across fields more apparent than an interdisciplinary conference such as this one.
Here’s the program, and the citation to my talk:
