Abstract


Infographics can effectively enhance learning in World Regional Geography. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using infographics in World Regional Geography learning. The study involved 18 fourth-semester students in the Geography Education Study Program without a control class. This study used a mixed approach, with quantitative methods of evaluative surveys through questionnaires and tests and qualitative methods through structured interviews and open questionnaires. Statistical analysis of quantitative data was conducted descriptively. Qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis. The results of the study indicate that the average understanding of students toward infographics reached 8.94 (SD=1.35), indicating good understanding of infographics supported by qualitative themes on the effectiveness of infographics. Students' perceptions showed an average score of 8.94 (SD=1.21), indicating a very positive response supported by the qualitative theme of improved understanding among respondents and the effectiveness of infographics, while the average student satisfaction was 9.06 (SD=1.00), indicating high satisfaction supported by the qualitative theme of the benefits of use. The average post-test results for students were 3.78 (SD=0.73), indicating a good understanding supported by the qualitative theme of improved understanding as well as student participation and engagement. This study concludes that infographics are an effective medium for learning Regional Geography of the World.
