“…In addition, scientific process skills is also considered International Journal of Instruction, January 2020 • Vol.13, No.1 strongly essential for scientific and technological eras nowadays (Gultepe, 2016). Besides, some patterns of thinking skills, such as metacognitive (Perry, Lundie, & Golder, 2018), creative (Mumford & McIntosh, 2017), and critical thinking skills (Strauss, 2016) have also been said to be the most essential capital for graduates to deal with tight competition in the 21 st century.

Empowerment of critical thinking skill is one of numerous goals the 21st century education intends to acquire. This study employed content analysis on a number of articles that had been published in Biology education journals across Indonesia since 2010 to 2017, with critical thinking skill as the main focus of the study. This current study has revealed that in the past three years, the number of publications that focused on critical thinking skill had improved. Among those publications, the most dominant research designed was quantitative. In addition, the tenth graders of senior high school and 'Ecosystem' were consecutively the subject and material targeted the most. Test and t-test were serially the most commonly-used instrument and data analysis method. In respect to the findings of this study, some recommendations have been proposed for upcoming researches underpinning critical thinking skill as the main focus. Some of these recommendations include increasing the diversity of research type and choosing more precise data analysis techniques.

Critical thinking skills are among the main skills in the 21st Century. However, many schools in Indonesia have not trained their students' critical thinking skills optimally. The purpose of this study was to identify the quality of high-school students' critical thinking skills. A survey was conducted to 175 tenth graders who were registered in the academic year of 2017/2018. The participants came from five different state senior high schools in Bengkulu, Indonesia. An essay test was used as an instrument to measure the students' critical thinking skills. The results showed that the students' average scores on providing simple explanations, presenting advanced delineation, and making assumptions and integration were in low category (48.15, 49.46, 50.25, respectively). On the other hand, the participants obtained medium scores on decision making (68.04) and conclusion drawing (65.24) and a good score on the management of strategies and tactics (70.00). It can be concluded that the overall rating of the students' CTS was weak, and therefore requires appropriate handling. These results indicate that it is necessary to apply learning strategies that can improve students' critical thinking skills in class.

“…It is said that students not only need intellectual mastery to survive, but also the capability that allows them to think critically and develop life skills (Glaze, 2018;Lindsey et al, 2014). Therefore, educational development should be able to accommodate the empowerment of students' critical thinking skill (Strauss, 2016). The development is indistinguishable from a number of studies that have sparked significant debate about how to sustain quality improvement in the teaching procedures (Fauzi & Pradipta, 2018;Spencer-Rodgers & Cortijo-Ocaña, 2015).…”
