The general objective was to determine the use of infograms by teachers to enhance the academic performance of students. The type of study was a mixed descriptive cross-sectional design. Methods such as: scientific, analytical, synthetic, deductive, inductive and descriptive statistics were used to present the results. The sample selected was a non-probabilistic sample of 35 students of the 10th grade of basic education and 8 teachers, who showed predisposition for the research work. The technique used was the survey. As important results it was shown that 75% of teachers do not use infograms to teach their classes; 54% of teachers and 49% of students indicate that infograms are diagrams and schemes; and 100% of teachers and students indicate that the use of infograms would help to improve academic performance and student learning. It is concluded that infograms are of great didactic use in the teaching-learning process to improve academic performance.
