Abstract: The study was carried out to examine the effect of animated and static infographic instructional materials on students’ academic performance in isomerism in Chemistry in Mkpat Enin Local Government Area. Two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The design for the study was quasi-experimental design. The population of this study comprised all the 1846 Senior Secondary one (SS2) Chemistry students in the sixteen (16) public secondary schools in the study area during the 2023/2024 session. The sample size for this study was 87 Chemistry students. Simple random sampling technique was used in selecting two public co-educational secondary schools in the study area and in each of the selected schools an intact class of SS2Chemistry students was used for the study. The instrument used for data collection was “Chemistry Performance Test on Isomerism (CPTI)†. The instrument was subjected to face and content validity by two Chemistry education lecturers and an expert in Measurement and Evaluation in the Department of Science Education, Akwa Ibom State University. A reliability coefficient of .85 was obtained for the instrument using Kuder-Richardson formula-20. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that students taught the concept of isomerism using animated infographic instructional materials performed significantly better than those taught using static infographics. The findings also showed no significant difference in the mean performance scores between male and female Chemistry students. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others that Chemistry teachers should use animated infographic instructional materials in teaching isomerism; seminars and workshops should be organized to train teachers on the use of animated infographic instructional materials in teaching isomerism and organic chemistry concepts.
