Abstract
Visualization has a long tradition in mathematics education and research on this topic has become more widespread in recent decades. In a meta-analysis (41 studies, N = 10,562), we aimed to synthesize the effects of learning with external visualizations on mathematics outcomes. We analyzed intervention, learner, and outcome characteristics as moderators. Overall, results of a random-effects model indicated a medium effect (g = 0.504, 95% CI [0.379, 0.630]) of visualization interventions on mathematics learning, with significant heterogeneity. Moderator analyses revealed that effect sizes were higher in quasi-experimental studies and when compared with business-as-usual conditions. These results emphasize the effectiveness of external visualization as a powerful tool to support mathematics learning, with positive and lasting effects across age groups and mathematical topics.
期刊介绍：
Educational Research Review is an international journal catering to researchers and diverse agencies keen on reviewing studies and theoretical papers in education at any level. The journal welcomes high-quality articles that address educational research problems through a review approach, encompassing thematic or methodological reviews and meta-analyses. With an inclusive scope, the journal does not limit itself to any specific age range and invites articles across various settings where learning and education take place, such as schools, corporate training, and both formal and informal educational environments.
