Exploring Graphic Novels for Elementary Science and Mathematics
Nesmith, Suzanne; Cooper, Sandi; Schwarz, Gretchen
School Library Media Research, v14 2011
Prompted by the recent surge in the popularity and utilization of graphic novels in the elementary classroom as well as trends toward the publication of content-focused graphic novels, the research described in this study was designed to explore educators' perspectives toward the medium as well as the issue of quality in graphic novels with science or math content. Qualitative results recorded through evaluation forms and focus-group sessions revealed the existence of variance in participants' perspectives. However, these results also indicate potential benefits and perceived problems or concerns.
