Description

Visualizations in physics education attract attention, fascinate viewers, and motivate engagement with the content. Research has linked visualization attributes to influence learning, but questions persist about how aesthetic visuals affect learning. Understanding student perceptions of picture aesthetics is essential, before investigating this further. Delving into theory of art and design, we selected criteria to choose eight pictures; four considered aesthetic. We assessed the perception of the pictures using a newly developed questionnaire. Results showed the chosen aesthetic pictures were more appealing. A short interview confirmed these findings, confirming that the selected criteria are effective for choosing aesthetic pictures.
