Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to measure the effect of infographic usage on the students' Interrogative learning skills and achievements in the teaching of the Science "Lighting and Sound Technologies" unit of elementary school 4th grade students. This study was conducted as a quasi-experimental study according to the pretest-posttest model. While the infographics prepared by researchers were not used in the control group, they were used in the experimental group. The study group of the research included 40 students who were in the 4th grade. 20 of them were in the experimental group and the rest were in the control group. While infographics were used in addition to the activities carried out in the experimental group, only the activities required by the curriculum were applied in the control group. In this research, academic achievement test consisting of questions about "Lighting and Sound Technologies" prepared by the researchers as data collection tool was applied. The average difficulty for 20 items of the achievement test is 0.52. The reliability value for the whole questionnaire was determined as .85. Research findings indicate that both the academic success and inquiry learning skills of the students in the experimental group, where infographics were used in the Science course, changed in favor of the students.
