In this study, it was aimed to implement and evaluate an adaptive learning environment (ALE) designed according to the learner characteristics of 4th grade primary school students and integrate educational hypermedia environments with face-to-face teaching. Via a preliminary study carried out in accordance with this purpose, the variables that affect the academic achievement of the students in the primary school social studies course were analyzed, and as a result of this analysis, the design, application, and evaluation criteria of ALE were determined. In our study, which was modeled as an embedded-experimental mixed method, quantitative and qualitative data were obtained using different tools. The analysis of the data revealed that the designed learning environment had a positive effect on students' academic achievements, collaborative learning skills, and, partially, independent learning skills, and it was also effective in closing the achievement gap due to learning and cognitive styles.

The aim of the study is to assess educational comics in the context of meta-analytic and meta-thematic analysis. Within the scope of meta-analysis, studies on educational comics from 2005 to 2021 were obtained from different databases. The effect size of educational comics studies on achievement was medium (g=0.71), and on attitudes was also medium (g=0.70), with educational comics in favour of academic achievement and attitude points. Moderator analyses were conducted in the meta-analytic process and it is aimed to address the status of educational comic activity in terms of teaching levels, application process, subject matter domains and sample sizes. The reliability of meta-analysis process was considered and the operations in the meta-analysis process were completed at reliable levels. For the meta-thematic aspect, national and international studies with qualitative dimensions were reached. Despite some minor flaws of the comic, it has been seen that it has positive effects on academic achievement, attitude and cognitive and affective dimensions of students. These emerging data were combined in two directions and it was ensured that the study reached a general conclusion. It is thought that performing both meta-analysis and meta-thematic analysis with different data sources contributes to the scope and reliability of the research.
