Paired sample t-tests and N-gain tests were employed as data analysis methods. With a significant value of 0.0000.05, the findings demonstrated that students’ learning outcomes in Science and Social Science differed. With an N-Gain score of 0.5617 and an N-Gain value of 56.17% the students’ learning outcomes in Science and Social Science improved, which is considered to be highly effective. With an N-Gain score of 0.6781 and an N-Gain valur of 67.81%, process skills were deemed to be highly successful.
