Abstract
The study ascertained the effect of infographics on class size, attitude and academic performance in Media Systems among undergraduate students of Curriculum Studies and Educational Technology, Faculty of Education of University of Port Harcourt. The study was guided by three (3) objectives, three research questions and three hypotheses. The population comprised of seventy-nine (79) three hundred (300) level students of Computer Science Education, while the sample of the study was made up of the whole seventy-nine (79) three hundred (300) level students of Computer Science Education purposively selected by the researcher. The research instrument was questionnaire structured by the researcher. The questionnaire consisted of twenty (20) items designed to determine student’s attitude toward media systems. The data collected were analysed using Mean and standard deviation while t-test was used to analyse the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that there was significant difference in student’s attitude on the use of infographics and on their academic performance in media system. There was also a significant difference in class size and their academic performance on the use of infographics in media systems. There was significant difference between male and female students’ academic performance on use of infographics in media systems. As a result, the males performed better than the females. Males had a stronger affinity and interest towards the use of infographics in media systems. Recommendations were that teachers should be encouraged to use infographics during teaching and learning, the students should also be encouraged to develop positive attitude towards the use of infographics in their various courses. Also, parents should provide learning opportunities to their children especially their girls to enable them varieties in learning.

Summary
The teaching of media systems in schools is very important to students as society becomes global age. The new education system puts more emphasis on the outcomes which are known to be statements about knowledge, understanding, skills and attitudes and values that a learner should demonstrate as a result of a learning This defines the curriculum in terms of what the learner should be able to do in a real-life context and what he needs to know and understand in order to do it [1]. The use of infographics in teaching and learning media systems play an important role in lives of students. Without such tool teaching remains teacher-centred and not learner centred. Madar & Buntat [11] believe that Infographics are important tools for learning any difficult or abstract concepts
