Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of using quantitative methods on students' academic achievement in secondary schools. In this context, quantitative methods refer to a teaching approach that emphasizes the use of numerical data and statistical analysis in the instructional process. The study employs an experimental research design involving two groups of students: an experimental group that received instruction through quantitative methods and a control group taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through achievement tests conducted before and after the intervention. The results indicate that students who learned using quantitative methods showed a significant improvement in their academic performance compared to the control group. These findings suggest that quantitative methods can be an effective tool for enhancing students' understanding and learning outcomes.
