Abstract:

We can easily enjoy a finished gourmet dish, but we don’t exactly know how the gourmet dish is

prepared. Like a gourmet dish, Data Visualization is a gourmet subject. “What is this gourmet subject

made of?” and “How is a digital gourmet object created?” are still largely unknown questions for many

people. In the information age today, we are experiencing a cloud of data from a variety of sources and in

a variety of formats. How educational programming for Data Visualization can be adequately developed

to meet such challenges is still one of the widely discussed topics today for both online and in-classroom

instruction. This paper describes a newly established concept model of data visualization. The domains,

scopes, and strategies of educational programming for Data Visualization are described and discussed.
