Abstract

Objective:The aim of this study was to describe, analyze, and draw general conclusions regarding the effectiveness of art-based interventions on the learning and academic performance of elementary school students with learning disorder.
Methods:This research used meta-analysis as its method, and the statistical population consisted of theses and articles conducted within Iran over the past decade. After reviewing and selecting studies based on established inclusion and exclusion criteria, 12 articles, corresponding to 29 meta-analytic units, were included in the analysis process. Data analysis was performed using CMA-3 software.
Results:The results of the analysis revealed that the combined effect size in the fixed model was 1.841, and in the random model, it was 2.411, both of which were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The overall effect size for all studies in both models was large. Therefore, it can be concluded that art-based educational interventions had a significant impact on the learning and academic performance of students with learning disorder.
Conclusion: It is recommended according to the results that educators, teachers, and relevant authorities make adequate use of art-based education to address and reduce the learning and academic challenges faced by students with learning disorder.
