Using Data Visualization To Teach Research Methods, Lori Looney Jun 2023

Using Data Visualization To Teach Research Methods, Lori Looney

ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference

Data-centered courses can be successful in achieving important learning outcomes related to critical thinking. This workshop will demonstrate how data visualization can increase student engagement in the research process both as stand alone activities or as part of a semester long research project. We will discuss ways in which to apply data visualization in assignments and examine the outcomes and benefits of incorporating data visualization in the research process.

This presentation demonstrates an opportunity to collaborate with faculty to incorporate technology into their teaching in order to increase student engagement in research methods, particularly with regard to critical thinking.

ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference

“It can be proven that most claimed research findings are false.” Those are the words of John Ioannidis in a highly-cited article from 2005. Ioannidis is referring to the “reproducibility crisis,” a phenomenon whereby researchers are not able to replicate published results in later experiments. A recent survey by Nature found that more than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist’s experiments and more than half have failed to reproduce their own.

In this presentation, we will introduce attendees to the replication crisis and provide real-life examples of reproducibility problems in the fields of psychology, economics, …
