Joshua Radinsky, Assistant Professor [learn more] [contact] How do students learn to reason with visual information? My research applies cultural-historical activity theory to the study of teaching and learning with data visualizations, with a focus on historical and social inquiry. My research methods are design-based, using the process of designing and adapting learning environments -- curriculum, instruction, software, data inscriptions -- as a window through which to analyze how people learn, individually and socially. This research informs, and is informed by, professional development and teacher education in the social sciences, and studies of the social contexts of schooling in big cities like Chicago. |
