This research aimed at figuring out the effect of interaction between presentation patterns of the infographic (static / animated) and the learning styles (global / sequential) in an adaptive learning environment and its effect on the development of programming skills of secondary school students, to such a purpose, a PHP-based programming skills list and an adaptive learning environment- related criteria have been prepared. Instruments of the study consisted of an achievement test and an observation sheet. The research's sample was (20) secondary school students who are classified into four experimental groups according to their favorite patterns of the Infographic and the suitable learning styles for them. The results show a positive effect of such interaction between the patterns of the Infographic and the learning styles in an adaptive learning environment for the purpose of boosting the programming skills of the secondary school students, and the efficiency of the adaptive electronic learning environment in providing content to each student, as the results of cognitive achievement and the observation sheet between groups were close, The most important recommendations were that more attention should be accorded to the use of infographics interacting with learning styles, and adaptive electronic learning environments in the educational process because of their positive impact on the cognitive achievement and skill performance of high school students, taking into account the criteria for their design and production, and publishing via the Internet, in addition to appreciating the individual differences between the students and their educational preferences in presenting the electronic educational materials. The researcher suggests that more studies about the relationship between infographic (Static / animated) and learning styles (global / sequential) in an adaptive learning environment and their effect on improving the programming skills of the preparatory school pupils should be conducted. Another thing that has to be done is about researching the effect of the interaction between the interactive infographic and other learning styles on the development of the programming skills of the secondary school students.
