‘Infographic’ or ‘information graphic’ is used in the present study as instructional material to scaffold teaching and learning in the Visual Arts Education (VAE) classroom at secondary school level. The present study will examine the use of the ‘I-GEP’ Module (Infographic of Elements and Principles of Design) which has been developed as a scaffolding tool for the VAE classroom focusing in the topic of Elements and Principles of Design for the upper secondary level. This study assesses students’ achievement in summative test, artwork produced, and their feedback on gallery walk activities conducted. Utilizing the Design Developmental Research (DDR) Method, the I-GEP module was developed using ADDIE model supported by Learning and Remembering Equation Instructional Design Model as guide in developing Visual Art lesson plan and to be used in the teaching and learning process. Data is collected using quantitative and descriptive statistics, with supporting qualitative data. For the implementation and evaluation procedure, the research was conducted through quasi-experimental of single-group comparison study. The respondent in this phase were selected through purposive sampling of forty-three students consisting of thirty male and thirteen female students respectively with one Visual Art teacher. The result revealed significantly higher achievement on the mean total score of students’ summative test after using the I-GEP Module. This demonstrates that utilisation of the I-GEP module improves students’ achievement in the Visual Arts Classroom.
