Abstract

This study investigates the impact of adaptive learning materials on student success in hybrid computer science classes. Adaptive learning systems, which tailor educational experiences to individual student needs, have the potential to enhance learning outcomes by providing personalized content and feedback. This research synthesizes findings from various studies conducted before 2019, focusing on key performance indicators such as academic achievement, retention rates, and student engagement. The results indicate that adaptive learning materials significantly improve student success in hybrid learning environments by addressing diverse learning styles and pacing. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating adaptive technologies into computer science education to maximize student potential and achievement.
