To verify the research goal, the following two hypotheses were formulated: There is no statistically significant difference at the level of significance (0.05) between the average achievement levels of students studying according to the four pillars strategy and the average score of students studying according to the usual method. There is no statistically significant difference at the level of significance (0.05) between the average decision-making degrees for students who study according to the four pillars strategy and the average degrees of students who study according to the usual method.
