The researcher prepared her research tool: the achievement test, and the validity and reliability of the tool were verified. A t-test was used to process the data. Results showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the experimental group that studied according to the contract learning strategy in the subject of the foundations of education and the control group that studied the same subject.
