Abstract

This study aimed at identifying the effect of the difference of the two infographic styles (interactive and static) based on the (T.H.E.P.A.C.T) strategy in achievement and reducing the math anxiety of the students with math learning difficulties in the elementary stage. The study sample consisted of the students of the fifth grade who have math learning difficulties, who were distributed over three groups. One control group (9 students) who learned through the normal way; first experimental group (10 students), learned through the static infographic method based on (T.H.E.P.A.C.T) strategy; and a second experimental group (9 students), learned through the interactive infographic method based on (T.H.E.P.A.C.T) strategy. The researcher employed the semi-experimental method and prepared an achievement test and a measure for the mathematical anxiety. The validity and reliability of the measure were both verified. The results showed that the students who received learning through the static infographic method based on (T.H.E.P.A.C.T) were better achievers than both groups who received learning through the interactive infographic method based on (T.H.E.P.A.C.T) and the normal method. Moreover, those who received learning through the interactive infographic based on the static infographic method based on (T.H.E.P.A.C.T) did better than who received learning through the normal way. In addition, the results showed that both groups who received learning through the interactive and static infographic method based on (T.H.E.P.A.C.T) had less math anxiety than the students of the control group (normal method). Finally, there were no math anxiety differences between both groups who received learning through the static infographic method based on (T.H.E.P.A.C.T) and interactive infographic method based on (T.H.E.P.A.C.T(.
