This study used an experimental design with a pre-test and post-test to evaluate the changes in students' abilities before and after the application of the DQA method. Before the application of the DQA method, all students took an initial test to measure their ability to formulate questions, comprehension of sentence elements, analytical ability, communication, and text comprehension. Thus, this study aims to contribute to improving students' skills in forming effective questions and deepening their understanding of the subject matter. The result is that the intervention or learning method that has been applied between the pre-test and post-test is effective in improving participants' performance
