Dissemination Toolkit: Visualizations

Graduate

Visualizations Icon

Visualizations—from graphs and charts to infographics—can be used to present data in an engaging way. They can also help simplify a complicated idea. Whether you are preparing a slide deck, a report, or a Facebook post, you will want to determine which tool to use and how to best use that tool to effectively portray your information.

Background/Context: Educational and societal phenomena can converge to draw attention to a new focus, such as ELs and STEM, and then trigger new research interests. A funding program can play a critical role in shaping these new research interests by prioritizing specific research topics and designs or by requiring particular specializations of researchers.

Short Description: 

Educational and societal phenomena can converge to draw attention to a new focus, such as ELs and STEM, and then trigger new research interests. A funding program can play a critical role in shaping these new research interests by prioritizing specific research topics and designs or by requiring particular specializations of researchers. The study examined whether funding provided through the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Discovery Research K-12 (DR K-12) program has made a unique contribution to the research in the fields of science and mathematics education for ELs.
