Abstract

          The aim of this research is to identify the effect of using infographics in an electronic learning environment for the teaching principles course on achievement and visual thinking among students of the Faculty of Specific Education, where the semi-experimental approach and content analysis were used and the experimental design with one group was chosen by means of pre and post measurement in order to suit the nature of the research Present, Where the performance of the research group was observed before and after applying the experimental variable, and then the amount of change that occurred was measured. The research included a group of students of the first year, Department of Music Education, Faculty of Specific Education, South Valley University in Qena Governorate, and their number reached (63) students.                                                                                                                                                           
The most important results of the research were as follows.
1- There is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the pre and post measurements for the achievement test for the teaching principles course through the use of infographics in an electronic learning environment for the benefit of post-measurement.
2- There is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the pre and post measurements for the visual reasoning test of the first year students in the Department of Music Education, and these differences are in favor of the post measurement.
The research recommended the following.
1-Under the current circumstances, attention must be paid to analyzing educational curricula to identify their characteristics and how to display them, in order to design learning environments that suit the nature of each course.                                                                   
2- The tendency to use infographics in different electronic learning environments, such as educational platforms, virtual classrooms, and others, which depend on the active and positive participation of the learner instead of being the recipient of knowledge only.
