The Way

Socially, economically, politically, and technologically, our world is transforming in complex ways that are beyond what we could have fathomed even five years ago. Now, more than ever, managerial decisions have far-reaching consequences in the way that organizations fail or succeed in bridging commerce and compassion, sustainability and profitability, and move from vision to effective strategic implementation. Solving problems, making decisions, and picking the courses of action are the most critical aspects of being in charge because it is risky and very difficult. Bad decisions can damage a career, influence peoples' lives, and hurt an organization's performance. But, where do bad decisions come from? In many cases, they can be traced back to the way the decisions were made. Maybe the right questions were not asked. Maybe the right alternatives were not explored or may be the data collected was wrong. Sometimes, the fault of poor leadership decisions lies not in the decision-making process, but rather in the mind of the decision-maker. How does an organizational manager make the correct leadership decisions when the unexpected occurs or the existing plans are insufficient or important organizational core values and goals are threatened? Critical Thinking in decision-making helps the professionals ask relevant questions, gather opinions from various groups, interpret complex problems, and make wise decisions. The development of critical thinking skills in international executives has never been more vital than it is today. The engagement in managerial critical thinking is about learning to apply experience-based, team-based, and formal problemsolving methods to situations. It is essential to develop a keen ability to overcome and become self-aware of biases, false assumptions, myths, and faulty paradigms that can hamper effective decision-making.

Critical thinking skills are the ability to think individuals in managing information, finding solution, and evaluating the problems obtained based on six criteria, namely (1) Focus, (2) Reason, (3) Inference, (4) Situation, (5) Clarity and (6) Overview. HOTS questions are a type of question that can help hone students' critical thinking skills. This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach that aims to describe students' critical thinking skills in solving HOTS questions in terms of gender. The instrument used in this study was a math ability test and HOTS questions. The subjects used in this study consisted of two junior high school students, one male student and one female student with high math ability. The results of the research on male students' critical thinking skills in solving HOTS questions show that male students are able to understand and find the essence of the problem, can provide reasons that support the way male students use, and can draw conclusions using the method that male students have used, so that male students meet the indicators of critical thinking Focus, Reason, and Inference. The ability to think critically of female students shows that female students can understand and find the essence of the problem, can provide reasons that support the way female students use it, can draw conclusions using the method that female students have determined, female students can reveal important factors that support the method used , and can describe the term at every step of the completion, so that female students meet the indicators of critical thinking Focus, Reason, Inference, Situation, and Clarity.

Abstract An undergraduate student should have ability to make the right decision based on data analysis and information able to provide instructions in choosing various alternative solutions independently and in groups. This is an important point in the Indonesian National Qualification Framework at the undergraduate level. One of the skills that must be possessed by students who are part of 21st century skills is critical thinking skills. The aim of this research is to analyze the critical thinking skills profile of science education undergraduate students in basic physics. Subject of this research were undergraduate students with sample of 109 undergraduate students determined by purposive sampling. The instruments have fulfilled the validity requirements (rα = 0.26) and reliability (α = 0.99). Result of this research that the profile of science education undergraduate students is very low level. The students’ critical thinking skills need to be improved based on that level.
