It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but what about graphs? Although graphs have the potential to bring data to life, numerous studies show that learners struggle with graphical comprehension. Furthermore, many textbook examples on graphs are boring and appear meaningless to students. Students want to know more about something which is interesting, meaningful, and worth knowing, in other words, something relevant. With the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in December 2019, COVID‐19 is dominating the news worldwide, and the internet is flooded with visual presentations about the virus. To make statistics more fascinating and exciting, relevant and real‐world data such as these can be used in the classroom to stimulate the learning of important statistical concepts such as graphs. Curcio's three levels of graphical comprehension were used as a framework in this study, while the importance of developing a global view on distributions was also emphasized.

使用COVID-19真实数据向一年级统计学生教学：图形

据说一张图片值一千个单词，但是图表呢？尽管图具有将数据变为现实的潜力，但大量研究表明，学习者在图形理解方面遇到了困难。此外，许多关于图形的教科书示例很无聊，对学生来说毫无意义。学生想更多地了解有趣，有意义并且值得了解的东西，换句话说，就是一些相关的东西。随着2019年12月新型冠状病毒的爆发，COVID-19正在全球范围内占据主导地位，互联网上充斥着有关该病毒的可视化演示。为了使统计数据更加有趣和令人兴奋，可以在教室中使用诸如此类的相关且真实的数据来刺激对重要统计概念（例如图形）的学习。Curcio'
