Science museums make the effort to create exhibits with amusing explanations. However, existing explanation signs with lengthy text are not appealing, and as such, visitors do not pay attention to them. In contrast, conspicuous comic strips composed of simple drawings and humors can attract science museum visitors. This study attempted to reveal whether comic strips contribute to science exhibitions. More than 20 comic strips were chosen that were associated with exhibits in a science museum. The individual episodes were printed out and placed beside the corresponding exhibits. A questionnaire was administered to museum visitors to evaluate the effects of the comic strips. Most visitors responded that the comic strips were helpful in understanding the exhibits and in familiarizing themselves with the science. Participants also described the comic strips' deficiencies which will be considered for future revisions. Comic strips are likely to enhance interest in and comprehension of science exhibitions. Furthermore, these strips are expected to enrich science museums in various ways such as establishing their uniqueness.

“…Although many comics covering STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) have been published over the years [Tatalovic, 2009] and the format has become increasingly popular with online science communication platforms, the effects of comics on public engagement and perception of science remain poorly understood [Jee and Anggoro, 2012]. Most literature on science comics consists of qualitative reports, often by teachers and educators who are also the authors of the comics themselves, therefore providing a small and possibly biased sample [Toledo, Yangco and Espinosa, 2014;Kaptan andİzgi, 2014;Kennepohl and Roesky, 2008;Kim et al, 2016;Nagata, 1999;Naylor and Keogh, 1999;Rota and Izquierdo, 2003]. …”

Visual narratives, such as comics and animations, are becoming increasingly popular as a tool for science education and communication.Combining the benefits of visualization with powerful metaphors and character-driven narratives, comics have the potential to make scientific subjects more accessible and engaging for a wider audience. While many authors have experimented with this medium, empirical research on the effects of visual narratives in science communication remains scarce. This review summarizes the available evidence across disciplines, highlighting the cognitive mechanisms that may underlie the effects of visual narratives.

Abstract-Using Islamic Education (IE) comic in primary school is an alternative way for teachers to deliver materials or concept of Islamic knowledge that can build students' good characters. This study aims to describe the role of IE in fulfilling students' needs to accept certain codes of behavior which give benefit for their positive activities either in the school or family life. The design of the comic has been assessed in terms of its effectiveness, efficiency and attractiveness to enhance the quality of teaching and learning process. This study found that IE comic is relevant and easy for teaching and learing practice. The implementation was performed by clarifying and internalizing the values and characters that suit with the subject matter using questions and answers techniques; contextual art; stories; case analysis; mutual respect and understanding others.
