As world has become competitive, we want to develop in the child the spirit of enquiry, ability of understanding, development of higher order thinking abilities like, critical thinking, creative thinking and problem solving ability independently. We can recall the efforts of various commissions in defining and framing curriculum with special emphasis on science education. Many learners centered strategies and approaches have attempted to improve student’s academic achievement and process skills in science teaching. Concept cartoon is one of the techniques used in remedying the misconceptions among students during instructional process. “Concept cartoons are interest arousing and surprising drawings in the form of a cartoons employed so as to state opinions on scientific concepts and they also focus on issues that learners can experience in their daily life”. (Brenda Keogh & Stuart Naylor, 1999). Concept cartoon as a successive visual aid based on the philosophy of social constructivism has a crucial role in science teaching. It motivates and enhances students’ participation with meaningful and experiential learning with follow up activities. It contributes to the different aims such as development of students understanding, explaining skills, perceptional level, problem solving, creative thinking, decision making, observational skills and students’ academic achievement. This systematic review analysis focuses on impact of concept cartoon strategy on students’ academic achievement. In this article, it is focused on analyzing the objective used, the methodology used and the findings of the study based on the area of concept cartoons. For this, researchers conducted a systematic review analysis of articles published between the periods 2010 -2021 February. For this review, publications through various databases using five steps to get the information were collected. In total 22 reports met the selection criteria. The results of this study can be concluded on previous and recent researches that Concept cartoons had the strongest association with academic achievement followed by students’ active participation in the classroom.

Concept cartoons, systematic review analysis, academic achievement and science education.
