Visualizing Analytical Instrumentation

Visualization of Protein Structure

Visualization in Biochemistry Education (VIBE) Research Group

Using the Delphi Method for Curriculum Design

Visual Literacy Scientific Process Faculty & Curriculum Development

Our Framework: The C-R-M Model Modeling Visualizations and Interpreting

External Representations (ERs)

Prior Conceptual Knowledge 1Science concepts

2. Research concepts (e.g. design, hypothesis,

control, variable, sampling)

Total Reasoning Skills Interpreting representations.

Includes R-M and R-C

Nature/Quality of ER itself Experiments, graphs, tables,

equations, models, micrographs

Cognitive Skills Memorization, analysis, transfer, application, integration, system thinking, analogical reasoning

Propositional Knowledge The ER and its symbolism in

relation to prior concepts

Visual Skills Decode, manipulate, translate, spatially manipulate, construct,

interpret, apply

Ability to visualize, understand and learn from the ER

Ability to engage all factors of the model
