<![CDATA[Natural Science (IPA) learning has a strategic role in shaping students' critical thinking skills, especially at the Junior High School (SMP) level. The discovery learning method is present as an approach that emphasizes the active involvement of students in discovering scientific concepts through the process of observation, experimentation, and reflection. This article aims to examine the role of discovery learning in science learning as a means to develop critical thinking skills in junior high school students. The study was conducted through a systematic literature study approach to various relevant scientific research and publications. The results of the study indicate that the application of discovery learning can improve critical thinking skills such as the ability to analyze, evaluate, and conclude scientific information. In addition, this strategy also encourages students' learning independence and curiosity. Thus, discovery learning can be an effective approach to improving the quality of science learning at the junior high school level.]]>
