Visualization: Theory and Practice in Science Education

Visualization: Theory and Practice in Science Education edited by John K. Gilbert, Miriam Reiner, Mary Nakhleh.

External representations (pictures, diagrams, graphs, concrete models) have always been valuable tools for the science teacher. The formation of personal, internal, representations – visualizations – from them plays a key role in all learning, especially in that of science. The use of personal compu...
