visualizeSchool: Function for visualizing the school curriculum.

In mcbeem/ZPDGrowthTrajectories: Simulate achievement growth trajectories using a theoretical model of academic achievement based on the zone of proximal development

Description

visualizeSchool() is a function for visualizing the school curriculum function.

Usage

visualizeSchool(start.point, width, review.slope, advanced.slope)

Arguments

start.point	The point at which the curriculum reaches full intensity. This value would become one of the elements of the curriculum.start.points argument to ZPDGrowthTrajectories().
width	The highest point at which the curriculum is at full intensity. This value would become one of the elements of the curriculum.widths argument to ZPDGrowthTrajectories().
review.slope	The steepness of the school curriculum cutoff at the lower range. Conceptually controls the amount of review content. This value would become one of the elements of the curriculum.review.slopes argument to ZPDGrowthTrajectories().
advanced.slope	The slope of the school curriculum at the upper range. Conceptually controls the amount of advanced content. This value would become one of the elements of the curriculum.advanced.slopes argument to ZPDGrowthTrajectories().

Details

visualizeSchool() plots the school curriculum. It is useful for exploring the consequences of the curriculum.start.points, curriculum.widths, curriculum.lower.slopes, curriculum.upper.slopes, and alpha arguments to ZPDGrowthTrajectories(). The function returns a ggplot object that can be modified with typical ggplot2 arguments.

Value

An object of class ggplot2
