Abstract

What do you feel when you find any colorful picture, image, cartoon or simple sketch within your boring textbooks or during a boring lecture? We all have enjoyed reading comics in our childhood days. When we remember the characters’ names, then their actions and statements come into the mind in the visual form spontaneously, which help us to recall the scene and content. Cartoons attract the attention and interest of children as well as adults very easily. So, these cartoons can be utilized as an effective tool to impart education from pre- primary level to higher levels of education as many researches have proved. The present study aims to reveal those educational fields where cartoons have been utilized as pedagogical tool and their different effects on the teachers as well as on students.
