Abstract
This research is entitled "Discovery Learning Learning Strategy in Improving Students' Critical Thinking Skills in the Introduction to Philosophy Course at Tribakti Lirboyo Islamic University, Kediri". The focus of this research is to explore how learning strategies are implemented discovery learning can improve students' critical thinking skills in studying the Introduction to Philosophy course. The research approach used is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, where data is collected through direct observation, interviews and document analysis. The subjects of this research were first semester students of the Al-Qur'an and Tafsir Science Study Program at Tribakti Lirboyo Islamic University, Kediri. The research results show that Strategy discovery learning which includes the stages of stimulation, problem formulation, data collection, data processing, verification, and generalization is able to encourage active student involvement in the learning process. Students are given the freedom to identify problems, explore material, and discover concepts independently. This significantly improves students' critical thinking skills, including the ability to analyze, synthesize and evaluate arguments and solve problems logically and systematically. The results of this research show that discovery learning is an effective strategy in improving students' critical thinking skills, especially in courses that require in-depth analysis such as Introduction to Philosophy. These strategies not only support theoretical understanding but also facilitate the application of knowledge in real-life contexts.
