This research aimed to determine the effect of implementing the outdoor learning method on students' critical thinking skills. A Quasi-Experimental Design was employed, specifically using a Non-equivalent Control Group Design. The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling, with a total population and sample of 47 students. Data were collected through both test and non-test methods. The data were then analyzed using an independent sample t-test.
