Abstract:
The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of infographic technology in developing academic achievement and visual thinking skills in engineering among seventh-grade basic school female students in Al Dhahira Governorate. To achieve this, study instruments were prepared, namely: an academic achievement test, a visual thinking skills test, and the instructional material (teacher's guide) developed using infographic technology (Infographic). The study sample consisted of (68) female students from the seventh-grade basic level, divided into two groups: an experimental group of (34) students who were taught using infographic technology (Infographic), and a control group of (34) students who were taught using the traditional method. The experimental approach was used. The results showed statistically significant differences at the significance level (?=0.05) between the mean scores of students in the experimental and control groups on both the academic achievement tests and the visual thinking skills tests, in favor of the experimental group. The results also indicated that there was a strong positive correlation between academic achievement and visual thinking at the significance level (?=0.01) attributable to the teaching method, as the correlation coefficient was (0.965). In light of the previous findings, the study recommended the need to promote the culture of using infographics in education among teachers of mathematics and other subjects, and to benefit from modern technologies such as infographics in teaching various mathematics topics due to their positive impact on students' achievement and the development of their visual thinking skills.
