The research aims to explore the impact of using a participatory approach on students' learning achievements. The population of this study consists of all eighth-grade students from SMP Negeri 14 Banda Aceh, which includes 5 classes with a total of 135 students.

Data collection was carried out using a testing technique, and data analysis was performed using a T-test. Based on the data analysis at a 5% significance level (α = 0.05) and degrees of freedom (df) = 51, the t-value obtained was t-hitung = 2.248 and the t-table value was t-tabel = 1.68, leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that the use of a participatory approach can improve students' learning outcomes. The results of this study can serve as one of the many pieces of information to enhance students' learning achievements.
