Jazz Education Today — Interactive Analytical Sankey

Where Jazz Knowledge Travels

Jazz Education Today · current exploratory coding · 18 respondents · updated October 2, 2026

Respondent

Hover any stream or category box to isolate the connected route or family of routes. Click a stream or box to lock its current evidence in the right panel. In a respondent view, the Current coded routes listed in the panel are also interactive: hover to identify them and click one to highlight and lock that exact route in the diagram. Use the respondent dropdown to view all respondents or one respondent at a time.

Figure Guide

Understanding the Diagram

What is being visualized

The figure traces how respondents describe jazz knowledge moving from a learning environment, through a knowledge form, toward a curricular consequence. Ribbon width represents the number of current respondents coded to that exact pathway. These are exploratory respondent-theme incidences rather than population estimates.

How color works

The left half stays within the color family of its learning environment. The center knowledge-form boxes are neutral. Streams retain the learning-environment color through the center, then gradually merge into the curricular-consequence color on the right.

How to interact

Hover a stream to isolate one exact pathway. Hover a box to isolate every pathway connected to that category. Click either a stream or any left, center, or right box to lock that evidence in the right panel. Choose a respondent from the dropdown to restrict the figure to that person's coded routes. In the respondent panel, each Current coded route is also clickable. Hovering the route title signals that it is interactive, and clicking it locks that exact pathway in the figure.

Coding and evidence limits

The source export contains 18 responses through October 2, 2026. Existing v16 coding is retained. New route notes distinguish explicit evidence from provisional interpretations. Contested / respondent-specific includes responses whose site-specific curricular consequence is unclear. Blank fields are not coded as disagreement. Visibly truncated text is excluded from new quotations. The figure does not display every survey item. Category N counts unique respondents, and ribbon widths sum route incidences. Boxes have a minimum height to keep labels readable, so box height is not an additional quantitative scale. Filtering highlights one respondent’s routes while retaining full-dataset widths and category counts.

Anonymous respondents

Anonymous respondents are numbered chronologically by submission time, with the oldest anonymous submission designated Anonymous Respondent 1.
