<![CDATA[Learning in Islamic Cultural History (ICH) should develop students’ higher-order thinking skills, particularly at the C5 level, which involves evaluative and argumentative judgment of historical events. At Darul Huffaz Islamic Boarding School, Lampung, ICH instruction remains teacher-centered with limited analytical activities, resulting in low evaluative skills. This study examines the effectiveness of the Predict, Observe, Explain (POE) model with Self Cards in improving ICH learning outcomes at the C5 level. A quasi-experimental method with a Non-Equivalent Control Group Design was employed, involving two eleventh-grade classes: an experimental group receiving POE-based instruction with Self Cards and a control group taught using conventional methods. The instrument was a validated and reliable C5-level achievement test (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.87). Data were collected through pretests and posttests and analyzed using normality and homogeneity tests, the Mann–Whitney U test, and an independent samples t-test. The results revealed homogeneous variances and a significant difference in learning outcomes (p = 0.048 < 0.05), indicating that the POE model with Self Cards effectively enhances students’ evaluative skills through structured prediction, observation, explanation, and self-reflection.]]>
