This study aimed to gather middle school students' opinions on the utilization of cryptologic methods in education. Using a case study approach, data were collected through a semi-structured interview form developed with expert input. The focus was on the effects of integrating cryptologic methods within the Information Technologies and Software course. The study involved approximately 105 middle school students. Data analysis revealed that students generally viewed cryptologic methods positively, highlighting benefits such as enhanced long-term and rapid learning, improved problem-solving skills, and increased interest and motivation through diverse teaching techniques. However, some students reported difficulties in learning cryptologic methods and a lack of interest. The findings suggest that engaging, sustainable, and rapid learning captures students' attention and enhances their focus. Integrating cryptologic methods into the curriculum holds significant potential for developing 21st-century skills, including critical thinking, research, and problem-solving abilities, enabling students to connect clues and formulate solutions. The further integration of cryptologic methods promises to foster enjoyable and enduring cognitive gains in students' learning activities.
