Abstract

This article describes the process of analyzing and proposing new charts and visualizations for Conecta PNE, a platform by the Brazilian Ministry of Education that monitors the National Education Plan and subnational education plans. The analysis considers the Graphic Semiotics proposed by Bertin, discusses data neutrality, and is based on Brazilian studies on data visualization to revise the visual representations of the project. As a result, we present a comparison of the versions and their improvements.

Keywords: data visualization, MEC, charts, education
