A Quasi Experiment method with The Static-group Pretest-Posttest Design was used in this study. Students were grouped in an experimental group (Discovery Learning model with critical reading/DL-MK) and a control group (Discovery Learning model with non-critical reading/ DL-MB). The data from a test were analyzed using t-test or Mann-Whitney U test with α= 0.05. The findings showed that there was a significant difference of critical thinking skills enhancement on aspects of strategy and tactics between experimental group and the control group (sig. N-gain= 0.014). The results of statistical tests in elementary clarification (sig. N-gain= 0.520) and conclussion (sig. N-gain= 0.144) aspect showed no significant differences between the experimental group and the control group
