Visualizing Repertory Grid Data for Formative Assessment

چکیده
Repertory grid tools systematically collect data that consists of a topic, its elements, constructs and element ratings. Gaining meaningful insights from repertory grids data is a challenge because data analysis is timeconsuming and a significant mental effort is needed. Visualizations aim at facilitating data analysis through a visual and interactive approach, which allows users to understand their data, reflect, and make better decisions. This paper presents an interactive visualization tool for teachers and students. The tool visualizes repertory grid data using two dashboards, where teachers and students can investigate constructs and rating elements of students at the individual or group level. Visualizing the repertory grid data is an initial attempt towards teaching analytics. Future work will focus on evaluating the tool in a real setting with teachers and students, and collecting suggestions for improvement.
