''TinkerPlots'' is exploratory data analysis and modeling software designed for use by students in grades 4 through university.〔http://www.srri.umass.edu/tinkerplots/overview〕 It was designed by (Clifford Konold ) and (Craig Miller ) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and is currently published by the Learn Troop.〔http://www.tinkerplots.com/release-history〕 It runs on Windows XP or later and Mac OS 10.4 or later.〔http://www.tinkerplots.com/system-requirements〕 The program allows users to enter their own data, to import them from other applications or the Web, or to generate them using a sampling engine. The program also comes with 50 multivariate data sets. Using TinkerPlots, students can make a large variety of graphs, including those specified for middle school in (Common Core State Standards for Mathematics ) But rather than making these graphs directly using commands, students construct them by progressively organizing cases using basic operations including “stack,” “order,” and “separate.” Responding to these operations, case icons animate into different screen positions. The interface was based on observations of people organizing “data cards” on a table to make graphs to answer specific questions 〔Harradine, A., & Konold, C. (2006). How representational medium affects the data displays students make. In A. Rossman & B. Chance (Eds.) ''Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Teaching Statistics'' (ICOTS) CD-ROM. Salvador, Bahai, Brazil, July 2–7, 2006.〕 Innovations of TinkerPlots include using a superimposed color gradient to detect covariation in two numeric attributes and a “hat plot,”〔Konold, C. (2007). Designing a data tool for learners. In M. Lovett & P. Shah (Eds.), ''Thinking with data'' (pp. 267-291). New York: Taylor & Francis.〕 a reformulated and generalized version of the box plot. The latest version is 2.3.1. This version does not have substantively different features from versions 2.1 and 2.2, but has a number of bug fixes.〔http://www.tinkerplots.com/release-history〕 == Critical acclaim == *(ComputED 2010 Best Educational Software (BESSIE) Award ) *(ComputED 2008 Education Software Review (EDDIE) Award. ) *(Parents' Choice Silver Honor, 2005 ) *(Technology & Learning Award of Excellence, 2005 ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TinkerPlots」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
