Abstract

This study aims to explore how English Department students at PGRI Delta Sidoarjo University utilize critical thinking skills to comprehend and draw conclusions from news articles. It also investigates the strategies students employ to enhance their critical thinking abilities when interpreting information presented in news texts. Using a qualitative descriptive. Data are collected through questionnaires and interview with final semester students. The findings indicate that although students are generally aware of the importance of critical thinking, their ability to apply it remains at a low level. Many students are able to identify main ideas and distinguish between facts and opinions yet they often struggle with deeper levels of analysis such as recognizing bias or evaluating the reliability of sources. To strengthen their critical thinking, students rarelly report using various strategies including verifying information discussing news with peers, and reflecting on the content before forming conclusions. These findings highlight the need for pedagogical approaches that more effectively foster students’ analytical reading skills particularly within the context of media literacy.
