English abstract
The study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using inforgraphic technology in developing the student achievement and visual thinking in geometry among female students of grade seven in Al Dhahira Governorate. To attain this objective, the researcher prepared the study tools of an academic achievement test and a visual thinking skills test in addition to a teachers' guide using infographic technology. The study sample consisted of 68 (N) female pupils in total. The sample was divided into two groups: an experimental group (N = 34) which was taught using infographic technology and a control group (N = 34) which was taught using a conventional method. The results showed that, there is statistically a significant difference (α = 0.05) between students' mean scores of the Visual Thinking Test and the Academic Achievement Test, in favour of the experimental group. They also showed that, there is a positive correlation between academic achievement and visual thinking at α ≤ 0.01 with the coefficient of correlation 0.965. Based on the results, the researcher recommends that it is important to spread the culture of using the infographic technology by math and other subject teachers. Moreover, its benefits should reach students through different math teaching topics as this infographic technology plays a positive role in students' achievements and development of their visual thinking skills.
