In order to help students develop their critical thinking skills, teachers need to model the critical thinking skills and dispositions in front of their students. Unfortunately, very rare studies investigating prospective teachers' readiness in critical thinking dispositions are available in the field of mathematics education. This study was intended to investigate the level of critical thinking disposition of prospective mathematics teachers. Using vase study methods, three studies were done in Malang.Three levels of critical thinkers were identified from these case studies namely: non-critical thinker, emergent critical thinker, developing critical thinker. Majority of prospective mathematics teachers' critical thinking dispositions are at the non-critical thinker level. Only a few of them are at the emergent critical thinker, and very rare at the developing critical thinker level. It can be concluded that prospective mathematics teachers are not critical thinker yet. Teacher education institutions need to reform their curriculum and instructional practices to improve their students critical thinking skills and dispositions. Keywords: Critical Thinking, Disposition, Mathematics, Prospective Teachers AbstrakDalam rangka membantu siswa mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir kritis, para guru perlu memodelkan kemampuan dan disposisi berpikir kritis tersebut di hadapan siswanya. Akan tetapi, sedikit peneliti yang menyeliidi tingkat kemampuan berpikir kritis calon guru matematika. Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk menyelidiki tingkat kemampuan berpikir kritis calon guru matematika. Menggunakan metode studi kasus, tiga studi kasus telah dilaksanakan di Malang.Tiga tingkat kemampuan berpikir kritis teridentifikasi dari studi kasus ini, yaitu: non-critical thinker, emergent critical thinker, dan developing critical thinker. Mayoritas calon guru matematika masih berada di tingkat non-critical thniker.Hanya sebagian kecil yang berada pada level emerging critical thinker, dan sangat jarang yang berada pada level developing critical thinker. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa calon guru matematika masih belum merupakan pemikir kritis. Lembaga pendidikan guru perlu mereformasi kurikulum dan praktik pembelajaran mereka untuk meningkatkan kemampuan dan disposisi berpikir kritis siswanya.
