The data gathering methods encompass the assessment of student learning outcomes through the utilisation of test result data conducted at the conclusion of each instructional cycle. The data analysis was conducted using a quantitative descriptive approach. The findings of the study indicated that the implementation of questionnaires in cycle I resulted in a significant improvement in students' learning outcomes.
