Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to examine The Effectiveness of the Infographic Pattern through the Interactive Smart Board on the Creative Thinking of Educational Technology Students: A Cognitive Load Perspective. This study utilized the quasi experimental type methodology. The independent variables were the Infographic Pattern methods (text and image, sound and image). The dependent variables were the creative thinking, which will be determined by the final mark on the post-test. The study samples consisted of 33 undergraduate educational technology students, and were randomly selected, via simple random sample. ANOVA procedure was used to determine the significant differences of the pretest scores among the two methods. An analysis of covariance, MANCOVA, was carried out to examine the main effects of the independent variables on the dependent variables. The findings of this study showed that students who have learned through the Infographic Pattern sound and image achieve design efficiently better in their post-test scores than those in the Infographic Pattern text and image. The results also showed that the effect of using infographic through the interactive smart board on the development of creative thinking skills among students of educational technology was medium degree.
