This study discusses , emphasising its relevance to the development of students potential. Discovery Learning is a student-centred learning model that emphasises the process of discovering concepts through investigation, observation, and direct experience, thereby training critical thinking, creativity, and independence skills. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical library research method. The results of the study show that Discovery Learning has a philosophical basis that is in line with the principles of Islamic education, as contained in the Quran and hadith, which encourage thinking, researching, and seeking knowledge as acts of worship. QS. Al-Alaq verses 1–5, for example, emphasise the importance of reading and exploring knowledge, which is identical to the principles of discovery learning. From an Islamic perspective, this model supports the development of human nature in the form of reason and curiosity, while also fostering critical thinking, responsibility, and independence. Discovery Learning also has advantages, including improving problem-solving skills, training independence, and encouraging active learning. However, this method also has limitations, such as requiring more time, demanding teacher readiness, and requiring a learning environment rich in resources. Thus, Discovery Learning can be a strategic alternative in improving the quality of learning that is not only oriented towards cognitive aspects but also integrates spiritual and moral values in accordance with Islamic teachings.

Conclusion

The Discovery Learning model is a student-centred approach that emphasizes the process of discovering concepts through direct experience, observation, and active investigation.This model fosters critical thinking, creativity, and independence, enhancing student motivation and making knowledge more meaningful.From the perspective of the Hadith, Discovery Learning aligns with Islamic educational values, promoting thinking, seeking knowledge, and reflection as acts of worship, thereby supporting the development of human potential.However, its implementation requires careful consideration of time constraints, teacher preparedness, and the availability of resources to maximize its benefits in shaping knowledgeable, moral, and independent students.

Future Research

Further research could explore the practical implementation of Discovery Learning in diverse Islamic educational settings, investigating how teachers can effectively balance the models demands with the constraints of time and resources. Additionally, studies could examine the impact of integrating specific hadith-based principles into Discovery Learning activities, assessing whether this enhances students spiritual and moral development alongside their cognitive skills. Finally, a comparative analysis of Discovery Learnings effectiveness across different age groups and subject areas within Islamic schools would provide valuable insights for tailoring the model to specific learning contexts, ultimately contributing to a more holistic and impactful educational experience that aligns with both modern pedagogical approaches and Islamic values. These investigations should involve qualitative data collection through classroom observations and teacher interviews to gain a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing this model in real-world educational environments, and should aim to provide practical recommendations for educators seeking to enhance their teaching practices.
