Validity of the Visual Chart Form Grade Report

We proposed a chart form grade report for a special college course and investigated how students understand their curriculum and grades. The form is a visual curriculum flowchart with grades for each subject. We predicted that this form would stimulate students' interest in the flowchart and give them a broad perspective over their learning career. Such a perspective would enable students to understand their own learning status and help them select subjects or courses in the future. We investigated the responses of nine students to three visual images appearing on the PC display, and asked them several questions while monitoring their gaze direction. Their verbal answers and gaze responses supported the validity of the chart form.
