This article examines the definition, historical development, and pedagogical applications of infographics in the context of biological education. Particular attention is given to the creation of infographics in biological disciplines and their effective use during lecture sessions. The study focuses on the implementation of histology-based infographics designed for students majoring in Biology Education. These infographics are utilized not only as instructional materials during classroom activities but also as tools for assessing students’ knowledge and understanding.
Furthermore, the article highlights the importance of engaging students in the independent development of infographics as part of their self-directed learning. Such activities contribute to the enhancement of visual thinking, analytical skills, and deeper comprehension of complex biological concepts. Experimental findings demonstrate that the integration of infographics into the teaching process significantly improves the quality of learning outcomes, increases students’ engagement, and facilitates better retention of information. The results confirm the effectiveness of infographic-based approaches in modern biological education.
