Trend of critical thinking skill researches in mathematics education in Scopus database across Indonesia: From research design to data analysis

“…From Figure 6 above, the question sheet instrument is the most commonly used by examiners to collect data on students' critical thinking skills. In essence, critical thinking skills are ways of thinking that can be assessed based on students' answers to high-level questions (Susilo et al, 2020;Wikanengsih et al, 2020). Some researchers did not inform whether the instrument used had been tested for reliability and validity regarding the test used as the main technique in collecting data.…”
