Abstract

This research study investigates the effects of integrating the discovery-based learning model within problem-based learning (PBL) on students’ critical thinking skills. The study aims to address the need for innovative educational approaches that promote active learning, authentic problem-solving, and the development of critical thinking abilities in students. The research methodology employed a qualitative paradigm with a descriptive design, and the primary data collection method was a comprehensive literature review. The findings reveal that the integration of the discovery-based learning model within PBL creates a dynamic and engaging learning environment, stimulating students’ critical thinking through reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. Significant improvements were observed in students’ problem-solving abilities, metacognitive skills, and the application of knowledge in real-world contexts. These findings highlight the importance of integrating experiential and problem-based approaches to enhance students’ critical thinking skills and prepare them for the challenges of the 21st century. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects, transferability, and factors influencing the successful implementation of this transformative educational approach.
