“…Visual representations have the power to communicate more efficiently, and often more effectively, than words alone (Trumbo, 1999). Images, illustrations, or other visual representations have the power to communicate an “immediate visceral understanding” beyond the abilities of text (Green & Myers, 2010; Reavy, 2003). Through the ability to elicit emotional cues and presentation of implicit association, comparisons, or correlations, visuals can convey affective and cognitive information at a glance (Barry, 1997; Messaris, 1997).…”

Infographics, which integrate visuals and text, can increase audience engagement with message content. Relying on two experiments, this study demonstrates the role of visuals for decisions to critically evaluate pro-environmental messages. Using the Elaboration Likelihood Model as a theoretical foundation, we demonstrate that individuals engage in greater levels of issue-relevant thinking when shown infographics compared to messages that rely just on text or just on illustration, with learning preferences and visual literacy as moderators. The findings demonstrate that visual content is an important factor for persuasive message processing, and infographic messages hold opportunities for the communication of environmental issues.

“…The storytelling stage involves expressing the insights or messages transmitted through visual elements using rhetorical techniques such as juxtaposition or metaphors (Islamoglu et al, 2015;Krum, 2014). Since being a means to simplify and summarize complex information in an easy-tounderstand way, the main purpose of infographics is to provide a clear, and easy-to-understand explanation of the information shared with the reader (Lankow et al, 2012;Reavy, 2003). In this case, the synthesis of quantitative research that clarifies a broader picture of the effectiveness of infographics in various learning environments becomes theoretically important.…”

This study aims to reinterpret the findings of the studies investigating the effectiveness of using infographics on academic achievement. A mixed methods research design including both quantitative and qualitative sections was adopted on the use of infographics in education. For this purpose, a meta-analysis of 12 empirical studies on the effect of using infographics on academic achievement in education carried out during the period from 2016 to 2021 was conducted. Some moderator analyses such as school grades, implementation period and school subjects in which infographics were used were also conducted to reveal the effectiveness of using infographics in education. The findings suggest that using infographics in education has a positive effect on academic achievement and the effect is at a large level (g =1.599). In terms of moderator analyses, the academic achievement changed according to implementation periods of infographics. The highest effect size was in the "4-5 weeks" group (g = 1.343). The meta-thematic aspect of this study revealed three dimensions of infographics as cognitive contributions, challenges in using and development of infographics and, suggestions for application. More empirical studies are suggested to test the expressed power of infographics as an effective visual communication tool and teaching material.
