Assessing Visual Literacy Competency in Undergraduate Mathematics
Page: 1450
We investigated how linear algebra students acquired mathematical knowledge from visualization objects, and to what extent these students exhibited visual literacy standards in higher education. Seven linear algebra students were the subjects of this research project. The data were collected through questions with high visual content and through semi-structured interviews. We analyzed the data by using descriptive and content analysis techniques. Our study found that linear algebra students were not sufficiently competent in using visualization techniques.
