Summary/Abstract: This study determined the effectiveness of science infographics in improving academic performance among sixth-grade pupils of Batangas State University ARASOF- Nasugbu Laboratory School. Based on the results of the multiple pre-test and post-tests of 26 pupils, the findings elucidated that the respondents performed significantly better in their post-test. The results implied that infographics were significant in terms of improving academic performance in Science among learners. Additionally, findings revealed that critical thinking skills, recall information, understanding complex information, and organizing information into logical groups may be improved through infographics. Further, infographics were found to improve learners’ability to communicate to others what they have learned, improve presentation skills, acquire teamwork, increase motivation to learn, improve the ability to give and receive feedback, and gain self-confidence to learn and succeed. An infographics paradigm was developed based on the study results to understand further the infographics’potentials in the teaching and learning process.
