Analysis of students’ critical thinking skills is the focus of this study. The material used in this research is Newton’s law. This research was conducted in one of the senior high schools in Malang City. The research was carried out using the critical thinking test method to measure students’ critical thinking skills, with the collection taken was class X IPA with a sample of sixty-four students who were divided into experimental and control classes. The experimental class was applied the ABSI model while the control class was applied to the conventional model. The learning process in the classroom, especially in physics lessons, has not used a learning model that can improve students’ critical thinking skills, namely still using discussion, question and answer and lecture models, this also causes less open opportunities for students to participate in learning and low student curiosity so that impact on students’ critical thinking skills. By using the ABSI model and tests of critical thinking skills in seeing students ‘critical thinking skills in Newton’s law material, the result is that in the class with ABSI model learning, students’ critical thinking abilities are higher than those with conventional models.
