“…One of the important results was that students who created digital comics about climate change used current and vital problems in an impressive way by applying aesthetic subtleties with Pixton, which offered many options in terms of design and application. In this direction, these results in the research are compatible with Farinella (2018) in terms of endearing science.…”

“…Nowadays, comics are used by educators in an effort to provide information about sociology, philosophy, history, anthropology, science, mathematics and medicine (Kuttner et al, 2021;Weiner & Syma, 2013). Comics are used to attract students' attention towards science in terms of its features such as adventure and immersion (Farinella, 2018).…”

To constitute awareness of climate change, hearing the solutions of students in their words and seeing visual products by creating experiences in schools is vital. This case study was limited to sequential implementations of climate change in the natural sciences teaching process in 5th grade. After an education process on using Pixton, 12 students transformed their learning into digital comics. This research aimed to reveal the problems created by students through digital stories about climate change, solutions they suggested for climate problems, and aesthetic subtleties they applied to express themselves. Digital comics created by students, researcher notes, observations, and students’ view forms were used as data collection tools. Finally, vital solutions to problems such as global climate change, pollution, destruction of the natural environment, and extinction of living creatures were created by students during this case. Important solutions consisting of preventing global warming, making peace with nature, vital measures and efforts to protect the soil were suggested. Besides, interesting aesthetic subtleties such as storification, positioning of the characters, place preferences, expression of emotions, and time depiction were applied. Teachers can use comics to see students’ tendencies, raise awareness, encourage them, and help them develop solutions for current socio-scientific problems. Keywords: case study, digital comics, digital story, digital storytelling, secondary school students

<p class="0abstract">Comics have been used as an alternative tool to improve student learning outcomes during the pandemic, but not yet for junior high school science learning.<strong> </strong>The study aims to explore the impact of digital comics in online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic on students' cognitive learning outcomes (CLO). A quasi-experimental research design was used in the study. A total of 42 eighth-grade students participated in the current study. They were randomly assigned to two conditions. The first condition was online learning assisted by digital comic media. The second condition was non-comic online learning. A multiple-choice test developed by the researchers was used to measure students' CLO. Although the number of participants is limited, an independent samples t-test was used to analyze the data because the data was normally distributed. The results show that students' CLO differs significantly between comic and non-comic assisted online learning in favor of comic assisted online learning conditions. The possible reasons behind the findings were discussed. As a conclusion, several suggestions for researchers and teachers were offered.</p>

“…Hence, we also need to train a new generation of science cartoonists who-just like science writers-are able to understand scientific content and translate it into their own unique visual language. At the end of the day, the communication of science in comics will be only as good as the comics themselves 23 .…”

Cada vez más entidades públicas y privadas, y, sobre todo, científicos están recurriendo al lenguaje del cómic para hacer llegar a la población general los contenidos más diversos relacionados con el coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 y la COVID-19. En este artículo, además de presentar una selección de cómics, me centro en algunos de los elementos que convierten al cómic en un medio ideal para la divulgación científica, tales como la antropomorfización, las metáforas visuales, los elementos ficcionales, el lenguaje adaptado a un público no experto y a sus necesidades informativas, la oralidad, o los procedimientos reformulativos, así como en la importancia de dominar el medio para que los cómics científico-médicos sean accesibles y atractivos para sus destinatarios.
