Abstract

The purpose of the research is determining the effect of the interaction between the infographic pattern (fixed- interactive) in an interactive learning environment in the context of its interaction with the cognitive style (dependents- independents) to development the cognitive achievement of internet concepts in the computer course, and reducing cognitive load of hearing-impaired students. In this research, the semi- experimental design according to the factorial design (2 x 2) with four experimental groups. The research consisted of an independent variable with two levels: infographics (fixed-interactive) and a descriptive cognitive method (dependents vs. independents).The research included two dependent variables (cognitive achievement of Internet concepts - cognitive load). The research sample consisted of (40) students of the first prep school in deaf and dumb schools in Qalyubia Governorate. The most significant results were there is a positive effect of the interaction between the infographic pattern and the cognitive style on the two dependent variables (achievement / cognitive load). The size of the effect was large in favor of the interactive infographic in both achievement and reducing the cognitive load, and the research recommended the necessity for introducing electronic activities after studying by infographics with its various patterns to enrich the information.
