The world needs environmentally conscious citizens who are interested in social and scientific issues, can find solutions, and possess digital skills. This study aims to examine the effects of a socioscientific issue-based digital comics design process on the environmental sensitivity of gifted students. Conducted using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through the Attitude Towards Environment Scale, semi-structured interviews, and digital comics created by the experimental group. The experimental group designed comics addressing environmental issues using the digital tools Pixton and Canva, while the control group received the regular classroom instruction. Findings indicated that the digital comics design process significantly enhanced the experimental group’s environmental sensitivity, multi-dimensional evaluation, and problem-solving skills. Students were able to creatively express environmental issues and visualize their potential consequences. In contrast, the control group, while showing improvements in knowledge, demonstrated limited development in sensitivity and action-oriented skills. The study concludes that socioscientific issue-based digital comics design is an innovative and effective method for improving gifted students’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. This process highlights the importance of creative, interdisciplinary, and digital tools in gifted education.
