Aakanksha Angra and Stephanie M. Gardner publish "Development of a framework for graph choice and construction" in the Advances in Physiology Education.

Abstract:

Graphs are visual representations of data and play a vital role in science communication, yet past studies have shown that students in K-16 struggle with graph choice and construction. To advance graphing skills, we developed two learning and instructional materials: Guide to data displays and step-by-step guide to data communication. Here, we briefly highlight the purpose, development, and usage of these materials, which increase students’ knowledge with common graphs and provide a guiding framework for data presentation.
