Data Visualization Literacy (DVL) has been recognized as an essential ability for students in the information age, and it is applicable not only to science, engineering, and social science, but also to art and design. As a result, information graphic design training is becoming more common, and it is increasingly being integrated into visual communication design curricula. Peer critique has been demonstrated that it can help improve students’ motivation to learn as well as the quality of their design work. This study aims to explore whether real-time peer review through online digital platforms can enhance DVL and to analyze the content of the reviews. The research employs a quasi experimental design with mixed quantitative and qualitative method. Pre and post DVL tests were conducted in a five-week project-based information graphic design class. Peer critiques from students were collected and content analysis was employed to see how they could promote DVL. When each team of students proposes their idea of design posters including at least one set of information from numerical data, as well as the final design work presentation, peer critique is implemented for experimental group students. The result indicates that the experimental group students outperformed the control group students on DVL scores. The result of content analysis indicates that students emphasized clarity over aesthetics and preferred simplification over richness in their comments on infographic design work. Peer critiques may encourage students to pay more attention on DVL during the class. |
