Preservice science teachers’ opinions toward Motion Infographic and its use in teaching

Abstract EN

The following study examines the opinions on Motion Infographics (MI) of 37 students-teacher for middle and secondary school science education.

The participants spent four weeks creating their own MI after being taught and trained about MI, after which they were asked to fill in a questionnaire designed to seek their opinions and experiences.

The study revealed that students-teacher generally have a favorable opinion about using MI as an instructional media in learning and teaching scenarios; however, they also claim that due to students' various learning styles and content being covered in the curricula, not all topics can benefit from the use of MI.

The participants also expressed some difficulties in the creation process, citing lack of prior knowledge, and lack of training.

Some recommendations include more exposure to infographics and further training for the production and use of MI for the students-teacher.
