“…As well as analytical skill, the academic ability also contributes effectively to students' critical thinking skills (32.25%) as served in Table 7. In line with some previous research showed that an individual with high academic ability tends to have good critical thinking skills, and vice versa (Karagöl & Bekmezci, 2015;Setiawati & Corebima, 2017). Academic ability is related to an individual's beliefs and self-evaluations regarding the nature of their skills and abilities.…”

Science and technology development in the 21 st -Century has been demanding educators to provide learning activities which stimulate students' critical thinking skills. This study aimed to find out the correlated factors of the students' critical thinking skills as well as of which was the strongest determinant in leveling the skills. The subject of this correlational research was 112 undergraduate students in the Department of Biology Education, Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang who took Botany course. There were four variables measured in this study, namely academic ability, mastering concepts, analytical skill, and critical thinking skills. The data of academic ability was obtained from students' cumulative index in the previous semester while the three other variables were measured using final exam test. All the variables then analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that the three predictor variables (mastering concepts, academic ability, and analytical skill) gave effective contributions toward students' critical thinking skills, with the percentages of 3.84%, 32.25%, and 54.26% respectively. Therefore, the results of this study could be a basic reference in designing learning process which empower the students' critical thinking skills.

“…There are many studies on teachers' CTT in the national literature. It was observed that the relationships between CTT and argumentative writing instruction [18], individual innovativeness [19], environmental ethics approaches ( [20], academic achievement [21], media literacy [22], creative thinking [23], problem solving and teacher self-efficacy [24], and learning styles [25] were examined in the studies. In this context, studies on teachers' CTT, tendencies, study subjects, research methods, findings, and results should be discussed with a holistic approach.…”

In this study, empirical studies related to the tendency think critically of teacher candidates in Turkey were examined. These studies were evaluated systematically by means of thematic content analysis. In research the WEB OF SCIENCES, ERIC, SCOPUS, EBSCO and ULAKBIM databases were scanned for the years 2012-2017, and 45 academic articles were examined. It was found out that studies are concentrated in the screening and relational model and work in a limited number of experimental models. Furthermore, it was observed that the relationships between individual variables and the tendencies of critical thinking were positive and significant. Some findings reached the conclusion that experimental intervention programs are effective. Teacher candidates' critical thinking tendencies were generally low. In addition to the studies, common findings on whether socio-demographic variables make a difference were rarely encountered.

“…(Table 2), yet, the indicator of open-mindedness projects weak positive significance. Similar to the explanation, Karagöl & Bekmezci (2015) theorizes that there is a positive and weak relation between critical thinking skills and academic achievement. The weak relation is suspected due to the implementation of unfamiliar learning strategy, as it is not integrated into the curriculum's system.…”

This research employs Ex Facto approach to analyse the relation between prospective teachers’ critical thinking tendency (CTT) and their critical thinking skills (CTS) towards their learning outcome. The subject of this research the fifth semester students of Chemistry Education, Faculty of Teaching, Universitas Mataram academic year of 2017/2018. The research focuses on the teaching of Chemical Physics III subject to 40 people who are chosen under purposive sampling method. The variable of attribute is the use of project-based learning and CTT while the dependent variable is the CTS and students’ learning outcome. The data of CTT were obtained through questionnaires focusing on the matter while the students’ CTS and learning outcome were measured using essay tests. The analysis of the data utilizes Pearson correlation test. The result of the test showed significant relevance between CTT and CTS (rcount ; 0.341 > rtable ;0.312). Meanwhile, the total of CTT and learning outcome do not show significant coexistence (rcount ; 0.096 < rtable ;0.312), even though the indicator of open-mindedness displayed a significant coherence to learning outcome (rcount ; 0.449 > rtable ;0.312). Based on the result, to sum up, there is a significant relation between critical thinking tendency and critical thinking skills.
