q2 · i? · design · r2

Interview-based rank-order task in which each of the 42 teachers ranked the six visualizations from most used (1) to least used (6) with rationales. Median ranks were 2.5, 3, and 3 for whole class visualizations versus 4, 4, and 5 for the equity set; the Choropleth Heatmap ranked lowest.

"As shown in Table 3, teachers ranked all the whole class visualizations higher than any of the equity visualizations. This preference for the three whole class visualizations held across teachers' individual rankings of visualizations as well as the sum of rankings across all the teachers."
