Visual displays play a crucial role in knowledge generation and
communication. The purpose of the volume is to provide researchers
with a framework that helps them use visual displays to organize
and interpret data; and to communicate their findings in a
comprehensible way within different research (e.g., quantitative,
mixed methods) and testing traditions that improves the
presentation and understanding of findings. Further, this book
includes contributions from leading scholars in testing and
quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research, and results
reporting. The volume's focal question is: What are the best
principles and practices for the use of visual displays in the
research and testing process, which broadly includes the analysis,
organization, interpretation, and communication of data? The volume
is organized into four sections. Section I provides a rationale for
this volume; namely, that including visual displays in research and
testing can enhance comprehension and processing efficiency.
Section II includes addresses theoretical frameworks and universal
design principles for visual displays. Section III examines the use
of visual displays in quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods
research. Section IV focuses on using visual displays to report
testing and assessment data.

The purpose of the volume is to explore the theory, development and
use of visual displays and graphic organizers to improve
instruction, learning and research. We anticipate five sections
that address (1) frameworks for understanding different types of
displays, (2) research-tested guidelines for constructing displays,
(3) empirically-based instructional applications, (4) using
displays to promote research and theory development, and (5) using
displays to report test and research data to improve consumer
understanding. Authors represent a variety of perspectives and
areas of expertise, including instructional psychology, information
technology, and research methodologies. The volume is divided into
four sections. Section 1 provides a conceptual overview of previous
research, as well as the contents of the current volume. Section 2
includes theoretical perspectives on the design and instructional
uses of visual displays from major theorists in the field. These
chapters discuss ways that visual displays enhance general
cognition and information processing. Section 3 provides eight
chapters that address the use of visual displays to enhance student
learning. These chapters provide examples of how to organize
content and use visual displays in a variety of ways in the real
and virtual classroom. Section 4 includes three chapters that
discuss ways that visual displays may enhance the research process,
but especially improved data display.
