Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: This study examined the effects of the Quantum Learning Model (QLM) on middle school students' achievement levels and attitudes toward music lessons. The research was designed using a mixed-methods approach. A proper experimental design, specifically the "pretest-posttest control group design," was employed in the quantitative dimension. The implementation phase of the study was conducted with two sixth-grade classes from a public middle school located in the Altıeylül district of Balıkesir province. The classes were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The quantitative data obtained were coded and analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 statistical software package.The findings revealed that music instruction based on the Quantum Learning Model significantly improved students' academic achievement and attitudes toward music lessons. In light of these results, it is recommended that future studies integrate the QLM into other learning domains and outcomes included in the music curriculum. Furthermore, music lessons in schools should be planned according to the fundamental implementation steps of the QLM, as this may enhance the quality and effectiveness of learning processes.
