Abstract

Systems of organizing, displaying, and presenting data in studies focusing on educational research have traditionally included statistical tables and figures such as charts and graphs. This chapter provides a discussion of utilizing multiple visual methods for displaying data in an educational mixed methods study that goes beyond tables and charts. The chapter does not go into construction of visual methods but offers suggestions and ideas for graphic illustrations such as icons, emojis, or photographs to display results. The chapter calls attention to application opportunities for researchers to reflect upon prior to submitting research proposals and IRB applications.
