The main objective of this study is to examine the practice of thinking skills in student-centered learning lessons taught by Islamic primary school teachers. Along with globalization, thinking skills are important and should be emphasized on young people so that they are vulnerable to the concept of thinking on a high level. Hence, this study is conducted to meet these goals. This study uses qualitative design and case studies. The data collection process uses in-depth interview methods by using semi-structured interviews. The findings were also supported by document analysis. The findings showed that the student-centered learning process in the teaching of the Faith emphasized the element of thinking skills. The emphasis of the thinking element is based on the argument guide from the Quran and the argument of kholqillah. In summary, the practice of thinking skills applied by Islamic Education teachers in learning-centered learning of the Faith students raises students' level of thinking.
