figurative language - Meaning Of "See"


I have a question about the meaning of "see". Suppose teachers at a school are talking about how this year's test scores are not as good as previous years.




We have seen better test scores than this year's.



According to this dictionary "see" could mean either (definition 1) "become aware of something by using eyes" or (definition 2) "become aware of something by using something other than eyes".


Which definition should be used for the test-score example then?
