“…The empowerment of the students' critical thinking skills can be done in small groups and individuals in the learning activities in class (Aktas & Unlu, 2013). In relation to it, teachers have to design learning programs properly and engage students in each learning activity.…”

Previous research reports mention several learning models which are potential in improving students' thinking skills. This quasi-experimental research aims to determine the difference in critical thinking skills of the students who learned by using inquirydiscovery model and conventional learning model in class X. The treatment of this research was teaching physics by inquiry-discovery model and conventional learning model. The instruments of critical thinking skills were developed by the researcher and validated by an expert prior to use. The results of the research showed that there was a significant difference in the critical thinking skills between the experimental class and the control class. The result of critical thinking skills of the students in the inquirydiscovery class was higher than that of the conventional learning class. The research recommends that teachers empower HOTS ability of the students in the inquirydiscovery class, so that a meaningful learning and student-centered learning can be created. Future researches are needed to explore the contribution of inquiry-discovery model on students' critical thinking skills.

“…Chukwuyenum (2013) stated that critical thinking is a complex concept involving cognitive skills and affective dispositions that influence the way teachers present the concepts to students. Falcione & Falcione (1994) reinforces this idea in Aktaş, & Ünlü (2013) that the disposition of critical thinking can help to predict the critical thinking skill. Critical thinking it also supports the intellectual curiosity.…”

This research aims to find out the association amongMathematical Critical Thinking (MCT) ability, Mathematical Communication, and Mathematical Curiosity Attitude (MCA) as the impact of applying Problem-Based Learning Cognitive Conflict Strategy(PBLCCS) in Number Theory course. The research method is correlative study. The instruments include a test for mathematical critical thinking skill and communication, and questionnaire to obtain the scores of mathematical curiosity attitude. The findings show that: 1) there is no association between critical thinking skill and mathematical curiosity attitude as the impact of applying problem-based learning cognitive conflict strategy, 2) there is no association between mathematical communication and curiosity attitude as the impact of applying problem-based learning and cognitive conflict strategy, and 3) the impact of applying problem-based learning cognitive conflict strategy is more influential in developing critical thinkingskillthan communication skill and curiosity.

“…Critical thinking skill is very important, because it helps us to think rationally to find alternative solutions for a problem. Critical thinking skills involve the integration of several capabilities, they are: the ability of observation, analysis, reasoning, judgment, and decision making [1]. Critical Thinking is considered as the second most important life skill after interpersonal skill [9].…”

“…The greatest obstacle to have critical thinkers at schools is that teachers have yet to possess critical thinking knowledge and skills [2]. To train students to have more participation, good questions, able to identify estimates and priorities, able to infer various persuasions in schools, teachers should be train according to these skills [1].…”

“…Some researches on critical thinking skills issues have been done with the subject of research are teacher candidates and students. Aktas and Unlu's research shows that Teacher Candidates Elementary Mathematics having low score in some sub of critical thinking skills [1]. Hananto do the research about critical thinking skills of Junior high school students and conclude that the critical thinking process of students in solving the problem of geometry has not gone well [13].…”

This study aims to describe the critical thinking skill of high performance mathematics teacher in solving mathematical problems with the subject was a junior high school teacher who was awarded as a high performance teacher. Qualitative research method was used to reveal the critical thinking skill of a high performance mathematics teacher, data collection gathered through in-depth interviews based on mathematical problem solving tasks. The results indicate that critical thinking skill of high performance mathematics teacher in solving mathematics problem. In Focus, teacher mentioned the information asked in the problem and developed it to formulate problem solving planning. In Reason, teacher stated the idea of problem solving with relevant reason. In Inference, she checked how confident the reason is given to support the problem solving argument. In Situation, teacher understood important information and situations in the problem given. In Clarity, teacher explained the terms used in the argument correctly and provided another example of a case similar to the given problem. In Overview, she checked the compatibility between problem information, completion strategies, and final solutions. The high performance teacher have abilities of ideal critical thinker. From the results of study, it is expected a learning that facilitates critical thinking can be developed.
