The Effectiveness Of Using Infographics In Acquiring Chemical Concepts For Fifth Scientific-Grade Students

Abstract

The research aims to identify the effectiveness of using infographics in acquiring chemical concepts. They will study according to the traditional method in the chemical concepts acquisition test), the experimental design with partial control was chosen for the two experimental and control groups that controlled one another with the post test to test the acquisition of chemical concepts. The research community was represented by all the students of the fifth scientific grade in the governmental preparatory and secondary schools for boys affiliated to the Maysan Education Directorate, as the number of schools reached (41) middle and secondary schools. It contained (60) students distributed in two divisions for the fifth applied scientific class, with a total of (30) students in each class. By simple random assignment, Division B represented the experimental group that will be studied using the infographic, and Division A represented the control group that will study in the usual way, and was rewarded The experimental and control research groups in intelligence, previous achievement, previous information test, prepared the chemical concepts acquisition test consisting of (36) items, and its validity and stability were verified by the Kudrow Richardson test 20 where it reached (0.80) and psychometric properties were extracted, the experiment was applied in the classroom The first took (11) weeks, and (23) daily teaching plans were prepared for the experimental group using the infographic, and the same for the control group according to the usual method, after completing the application of the experiment. The data were statistically reconciled based on the statistical package (SPSS), the results showed that the experimental group who studied using infographics in the test of acquiring chemical concepts outperformed their peers in the control group with significant significance and a large effect size. In light of the research results, the researcher recommends the use of infographics in teaching as an alternative to the usual method, and suggests a number of suggestions.
