Examining the Synergy of Bubble Maps and Double Bubble Maps for Enhanced Educational Visualization

Abstract

This research explores the utilization of cognitive visualization aids in the realm of education, specifically focusing on Bubble Maps and Double Bubble Maps. While Bubble Maps are commonly employed for knowledge acquisition, Double Bubble Maps serve as effective tools for comparing similarities and differences within interconnected ideas. Previous studies have extensively examined the individual efficacy of these map types in educational settings. However, there is a noticeable gap in the literature concerning the combined use of both map types. This study seeks to address this gap by integrating the attributes of instructional courses and presenting educational information through a combined approach of Bubble Maps and Double Bubble Maps. The primary objective is to enhance students' learning efficiency, thus contributing to the advancement of effective teaching and learning practices.
