This study examines pedagogical challenges in teaching Ulūmul Qur’ān in the Islamic Education Management Program at STAI Idrisiyyah, particularly low engagement and shallow understanding resulting from lecture-based instruction. It investigates the implementation of a collaborative discovery learning–discussion model and its impact on cognitive outcomes and intrinsic motivation. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observation of 12 learning sessions, and document analysis. The findings indicate a 45% improvement in students’ analytical skills on topics such as nasikh-mansukh and makki-madani, alongside a 40% increase in classroom participation. The model encourages epistemic agency through guided inquiry, discussion, and double-loop learning, integrating tadabbur and mudzākara. This hybrid approach contributes to Islamic pedagogy by strengthening analytical competence and collaborative learning in Qur’anic higher education.
