An infographic is a visual piece in which complex ideas are represented through a mixture of elements, such as maps, graphs, tables, sounds, illustrations, etc.\u00a0Its main objective is to explain a message in a simpler, more attractive and summarized way.\u00a0Its purpose is educational.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the search for new strategies for knowledge transfer in the classroom, infographics have great potential, because:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They allow narrating stories accompanied by graphics and texts.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. They display attractive information for the general public.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. They expand the possibilities in teaching.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. They develop skills in the use of information sources.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. They consolidate habits of discipline, study and individual work, since they can be used as a study technique, but they also motivate collaborative and interdisciplinary work.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. They synthesize content with a strong visual charge, with varied designs depending on the theme.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. They stimulate creative thinking and mastery of ICT tools.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. In addition to all this, they serve for different types of ages;\u00a0It can be used both in an infant class and in a university.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Our intellect is visual<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Within\u00a0<\/span>our research<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in different classrooms, we have been able to verify the importance of students actively participating in their learning process.\u00a0If the students become the protagonist in the acquisition of their own knowledge, this will make them understand better and for a longer time.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Our thinking is visual, especially in the age of screens in which we currently live.\u00a0We are able to better understand the ideas that arise through visual concepts, and not only through abstract concepts, as are most of the concepts that are taught in the field of humanities.<\/span><\/p>\n

    When we are presented with information, whether educational or journalistic, the first thing we do is read the headline.\u00a0Later, we contemplate the images and finally, we are interested in the text.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Several specialists<\/span><\/a>\u00a0have detected that students pay more attention to the drawings, images or signs in their books than to the text, although teachers rarely emphasize them.\u00a0An image is not something passive, it not only exposes, but also manifests a problem, makes the viewer ask questions and arrive at a solution.<\/span><\/p>\n

    With infographics you can improve classes, make them more enjoyable.\u00a0We can get students to be able to remember a certain illustration, graph or map of the infographic, to explain complex concepts to define through it.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Linked to knowledge from the origins<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Infographics have always been a method of transmitting knowledge, although not as we know them now.\u00a0Hieroglyphs (formed by a binomial of text and image) could be one of the first origins of infographics.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The medieval bestiaries;\u00a0cartographic maps;\u00a0family tree diagrams;\u00a0the various branches of scientific illustration (medicine, botany, engineering, etc.);\u00a0the schematic, regulated and synthesized graphic stories of Leonardo da Vinci, who tried to transmit information with images supported by the text;\u00a0the drawings and annotations on evolution, the natural sciences and the maps of Charles Darwin\u2026 All of them are mixtures of text and image that can be considered precursors of infographics.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Its use is becoming more widespread.\u00a0Especially, in a knowledge society where there is more and more information and what is important is not so much being able to memorize it as being able to discriminate what is the correct and important information.<\/span><\/p>\n

    An alternative evaluation method<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Although the exam is the most widely used means of evaluation, there are other written means (for example, the poster, the portfolio and the project) and oral means (for example, the debate, the presentation and the exhibition) that constitute student productions and They serve to demonstrate what they have learned.\u00a0In this line,\u00a0<\/span>various studies <\/span><\/a>\u00a0have analyzed the potential<\/span><\/a>\u00a0of infographics as a teaching resource in the learning process.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Over time, educational centers have been integrating resources to improve the work of teachers and help them in their work.\u00a0From blackboards to, today, computers and tablets.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Teachers have always used visual materials for their explanations.\u00a0For example, a skeleton to give anatomy, three-dimensional figures to give geometry or minerals to give geology.\u00a0All of these are used as mediation to communicate with the student more easily and reach their senses directly through their interaction with objects.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Infographics and education<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Infographics are normally used in the journalistic field.\u00a0However, with them we can present facts, develop situations, explain stories, describe processes, etc., which is why their use is beginning to spread to other areas, such as education.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Its use in education is still very new, and has two aspects: on the one hand, as a way to present information in the classroom and draw the attention of students.\u00a0On the other hand, by having the student make an infographic so that they develop skills such as the search, acquisition and assimilation of information, since in order to capture certain information in the infographic, it is necessary to know a certain topic in depth.<\/span><\/p>\n

    We are facing a different reality, in which we must adapt to the circumstances that may come, and covid-19 is proof of this.\u00a0There must be an education that reaches the classrooms, but also homes, hospitals, students with special needs, etc.\u00a0Visual education and information and communication technologies are the great lines of the future of education capable of achieving this.<\/span><\/p>\n
