Investigating the Utility of Graphics in Teaching Data Wrangling

Published:07 August 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

Programming is increasingly being taught in statistics modules across various departments, where the focus is on wrangling data in languages like Python and R. Graphical aids as applied to this domain is an empirically untried approach. My research investigates their utility in relation to several subject characteristics and outcome variables.
