Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the critical thinking skills of learners. The subjects in this study were 75 students of class X in SMAN 3 Mataram. The research type was a quasi-experiment. A test comprising 14 problems was used to collect experimental data. Five critical thinking indicators were studied: interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, and explanation.
