Skill 4: Data Representation
Produced by Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme, the resources in this section help students to develop their skills in representing data.
In this skill area, students focus on the subject of visuals. With many diverse forms of representation, visual representations can help students to understand written scientific content. In particular, texts that require complex, deep and abstract thinking. Used skilfully, they can help students to link pieces of information together, to arrange them in logical continuums and to develop a better understanding of meanings and implications.
The section looks at:
* types of visual representations
* learning from tables
* processing and using data
* graphs and their interpretation
There are trainer development materials associated with the delivery of learning activities in this skill area. They can be found at: LSS Skill Area 4 Training.
