To achieve this, a quasi-experimental design with a pretestposttest control group was implemented. The research involved 62 students from a public secondary school in a central province of eastern Turkey over a period of 12 class hours (3 weeks) . Prior to the study, experimental and control groups were randomly assigned, and efforts were made to balance the groups based on various factors (e.g., pass marks, pretest scores) . A mathematics achievement test (MAT) comprising 18 multiple-choice questions, and a 20-item mathematics attitude scale (MAS) were employed to collect data. The experimental group was taught using the Excel program, while the control group received instruction via traditional teaching methods outlined in the curriculum. Data collected after the intervention were analyzed using t-tests in the SPSS program. The results revealed a significant improvement in the academic achievement of the experimental group compared to the control group, indicating the effectiveness of using Excel-based teaching materials. Additionally, both groups showed positive changes in their attitudes towards mathematics; however, no significant difference was found between the groups in terms of the impact of the teaching method on students' attitudes. |\n| 1. Introduction\u003Cbr>Today, the rapid advancement of technology has triggered significant changes and transformations in the field of education (Özen & Kurtuluş, 2023) . It is especially important that technology transforms the abstract and complex nature of education into something concrete and meaningful. Providing education ina stimulating, efficient, and high-quality manner has become nearly impossible without the use of technological methods (Babapour Golezani, 2012) . The fresh dynamics that computers have brought to communication and social interaction are evident across various domains. Computers have become indispensable in modern life, serving a broad spectrum of functions—from data input, processing, and output in complex systems to the operation of relatively simple applications. It is unthinkable to view computers, which are so integral to today's world, as separate from the educational realm (Yenilmez & Ersoy, 2008) . Therefore, it can be said that every field of education is impacted by the movement of technology and digitalization, though in varying dimensions and areas (Temel & Gür, 2022) . |  |\n\n*  \nCorresponding author.
