Abstract

Visualization is an area that has fascinated scientists and science educators alike yet, it has proved problematic for research and study (Mathewson, 1999). It is only in the last ten years that science educators have had some success in understanding and tackling the questions related to visualization and its role in learning. Research in this area has been eclectic in nature, often spurred by the entry of new visualization technologies into the classroom, and drawing on theoretical frameworks and analytical tools developed by cognitive scientists as well as historians of science and science educators. The studies have so far remained scattered over a range of disciplines and several interdisciplinary journals and books. The present volume does an exemplary service in bringing together the research in this new and emerging field, placing it firmly on the radar of science educationists.
