This study aims to analyze the influence of learning motivation, learning atmosphere, and emotional conditions on students' critical thinking skills at Darussalam Gontor University in the 2024/2025 academic year. The method used is quantitative descriptive with variable measurement through questionnaires to 69 students randomly from various study programs. The questionnaire was designed using a Likert scale of 1-5 with predetermined categories. Respondents are expected to fill out the questionnaire honestly and attentively. The results of data analysis using Ordinal Logistic Regression (RLO) showed that learning motivation and students' emotional conditions have a significant positive effect on students' critical thinking skills. However, the learning atmosphere did not show a significant positive impact on critical thinking skills. This study focuses on the importance of attention to motivation and emotional management of students, in this case, to improve their critical thinking skills. The recommendation that can be proposed is an effort to be more creative in choosing teaching methods so that learning becomes more effective. The hope is that a more conducive and enjoyable learning environment will be formed so that it supports the development of student's critical thinking skills in the future. The results of this study are expected to be useful for the development of learning strategies in the academic environment.
