Abstract: The research entails an evaluation of the efficacy of employing decision trees to augment students' analytical capacities, encompassing the determination of self-efficacy levels and cognitive loads among students. The sample included 160 students divided into two groups. The present research collected the data using a questionnaire to analyse self-efficacy and cognitive load among students: the research revealed no significant differences in self-efficacy between the two groups of participants (F = 0.01, p > 0.05). The mean cognitive workload and cognitive effort values in the experimental group are 3.01 and 3.46 respectively, while in the control group, they are 2.94 and 3.42. These findings indicate that students in the experimental group exhibit slightly higher levels of the measured indicators compared to the control group; however, these differences are not statistically significant. The practical significance of this work lies in the absence of detected differences between the groups, which may indicate that both methods could be equivalent in terms of enhancing students' analytical skills. This finding could influence the development of educational programs and enhance their effectiveness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
