Criteria for Designing and Producing the Infographics Represented in the Shapes Included in the Chemistry Book for the Science Fourth Grade

Abstract

The current research aims at identifying criteria for designing and producing the infographics represented in the illustrations included in the chemistry book for the science fourth grade. To achieve the goal, the researcher adopted a list of criteria for designing and producing infographics prepared by Al-Tamimi (Al-Tamimi, 2021). They consist of an educational field that includes three main criteria with their sub-indicators and a technical field that includes seven main criteria with their sub-indicators after verifying their validity and suitability for the goal of the research. The research sample of the 27 shapes included in the fourth-grade chemistry book was subjected to analysis using the list of adopted criteria. After processing the results statistically, main findings were reached. First, the chapters of the fourth science chemistry book achieved the criteria for designing and producing infographics in varying proportions. Second, the criterion of "simplicity in design" ranked first in the total shapes included in the chemistry book for the science fourth grade. Third, the criterion of "using the text properly" ranked last in the total shapes included in the chemistry book for the science fourth grade.
