Effects of infographic designing on image processing ability and achievement motivation of dyscalculic students

Dyscalculia is a mathematical learning disorder in which the mathematical ability of students is found lower than the expected for a person’s age, intellect and edification. There are various symptoms of Dyscalculic such as -having difficulty in counting objects, difficulty in processing and memorizing sequences and others. Infographic design presents simple brain exercises and activities for dyscalculic can be helpful in stimulating the network of neural connections in charge of processing numeric language which lead to minimize their cognitive difficulties that are associated with the process of learning mathematics and develop their image processing ability. The present study is aimed at achieving the objectives i.e., to identify the Dyscalculic students from the regular classrooms of junior level, to compare the image processing ability of Dyscalculic students taught by Infographic design and Traditional design, to compare the achievement motivation of Dyscalculic students taught by Infographic design and Traditional design, to compare the image processing ability between rural and urban Dyscalculic students taught by Infographic design, To compare the achievement motivation between rural and urban Dyscalculic students taught by Infographic design, to compare the image processing ability between male and female Dyscalculic students taught by Infographic design, to compare the image processing ability between male and female Dyscalculic students taught by Traditional design, to compare the achievement motivation between male and female Dyscalculic students taught by Infographic design, to compare the achievement motivation between male and female Dyscalculic students taught by Traditional design. For achieving these objectives, Descriptive Survey research method has been employed. In the present study 48 dyscalculic students of junior schools were selected from Agra city by simple random sampling. Mathematics Academic Achievement Test, Mathematical Comprehension Scale, Image Processing Ability Test, Achievement Motivation Scale tools were used to collect the data.. These dyscalculic students were not different in their achievement motivation and image processing ability on the basis of rural and urban. The dyscalculic students were found different in their achievement motivation and image processing ability on the basis of gender.
