Abstract
The current research aimed to identify the effectiveness of digital education based on the use of infographic technology and its impact on developing visual thinking skills and mathematical achievement among middle school students. The researchers employed a quasi-experimental method comprising a pre- and post-design with both experimental and control groups. The study was implemented in the academic year 1445 AH with a simple purposive sample of 64 students from the second intermediate grade in Dammam. The sample was divided into two groups: a traditional method group comprising 31 students, and an experimental method group using digital education based on infographic technology comprising 33 students. The main results were as follows: 1) Statistically significant differences were found between the experimental and control groups in the post-application of the visual thinking skills test and the achievement development test in favour of the experimental group. 2) A strong relationship was observed between achievement development and visual thinking skills using digital education based on infographic technology. Accordingly, the researchers presented several recommendations and suggestions for future practice and research.
