This study was aimed to determine effect on: (1) Problem based learning strategy toward critical thinking skills; (2) Learning interest toward critical thinking skills; (3) Interaction between problem based learning strategy and learning interest toward critical thinking skills; (4) Problem based learning strategy toward students’ learning outcomes; (5) Learning interest toward students’ learning outcomes; and (6) Interaction between problem based learning strategy and learning interest toward students’ learning outcomes. Subjects in this study are taken as much as 3 classes is determined by a cluster random sampling. Determined learning class in research is 2 classes with sample of 38 people per class. . Based on the results show that there are significant effect on (1) Learning model toward critical thinking skills which obtained Fcount>Ftable (6,971>2,50) and probability value is 0,010<0,05; (2) Learning interest toward critical thinking skills which obtained Fcount>Ftable (24,949>2,50) and probability value is 0,000<0,05; (3) Interaction between learning model and learning interest toward critical thinking skills which obtained Fcount>Ftable (4,140>2,50) and probability value is 0,046<0,05; (4) Learning model toward students’ learning outcomes which obtainde Fcount>Ftable (25,269>2,50) and probability value is 0,000<0,05; (5) Learning interest toward students’ learning outcomes which obtained Fcount>Ftable (13,888>2,50) and probability value is 0,000<0,05; and (6) Interaction between learning model and learning interest toward students’ learning outcomes which obtained Fcount>Ftable (4,291>2,50) and probability value is 0,042<0,05. Based on this study can conclude that there are significant effect of strategy, interest, and interaction between learning strategy and learning interest toward critical thinking skills and students’ learning outcomes on the topic in digestive system of human at MAS Amaliyah Sunggal. This cases are expected to provide information for teachers and schools to use problem based learning strategy and learning interest to improve critical thinking skills and student’s learning outcomes.

We explored medical student’s views and perceptions of a series of debates conducted during problem-based learning (PBL) practiced as a part of the Spiral curriculum at the Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Saudi Arabia. A series of debates were employed during PBL sessions for second-year female medical students, over the period 2014–2016. Each cohort of students was randomly split into 10 small PBL groups and exposed to weekly PBL activity. Within each group, the students were divided into a proposition half and an opposition half. Students were given 1 wk for debate preparation. The students’ responses were recorded on a formulated questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative data, and results are presented as percentages. The usefulness of debate in alleviating potential difficulties in communicating with patients was agreed to by 69% ( n = 126) of participants. That these sessions evoked critical thinking among students was reported by 78% ( n = 142). This series of debates helped 61% ( n = 111) of students to learn effectively about controversial issues. Seventy-one percent ( n = 130) considered that debate promoted argument generation and interpretation skills. Enhanced ability to analyze and research evidence was reported by 59% ( n = 108) of students. One hundred and thirteen students (62%) agreed that debate helped them to improve clinical decision-making, and 75% of students agreed that debates encouraged tolerance toward diverse viewpoints/convincing strategies. The majority of our medical students found debating enhanced analytic decision-making, communication, and critical thinking skills.

The purpose of this reaserch are (1) find differences influence model of Group Investigation (GI) and Problem Based Learning (PBL). (2) find differences influence learning motivation of students to critical thinking abilities of learners. (3) find the interaction effect between learning models and learning motivation of the critical thinking skills of learners. This study will be conducted in SMA Martapura, Banjar regency, South Kalimantan. Subjects of the study were students of class XI SMA Martapura academic year 2015/2016. This type of research to be carried out in this study is a quantitative study using experimental methods. Design of this research is 2 X 2 factorial design to data collection technique motivation questionnaire and tests critical thinking skills. The result, 1) There is a difference between the positive influence of the Model Group Investigation (GI) and Problem Based Learning (PBL). 2) There are differences positively influence the motivation of students to critical thinking ability of students in learning the history. 3) There are nointeractions influence student learning model and motivation for students' critical thinking skill There is no interaction effect Learning Model and the Motivation of students' critical thinking skills of students in Learning Historys.

This study aims to improve students' critical thinking skills in Civics in 5th grade students of SD Muhammadiyah Kauman, Yogyakarta using Problem Based Learning model. This research is a Classroom Action Research (PTK). The subjects of the study were 5th grade students of B1 SD Muhammadiyah Kauman. The object of research is the whole process and the results of learning Civics with the application of Problem Based Learning model. This research was conducted at SD Muhammadiyah Pakel Yogyakarta in April until May 2017. Data collection techniques used were observation, diary, interview and test. Data analysis technique is done descriptively qualitative. This research was conducted in 2 cycles by applying problem based learning model. The learning steps that were implemented were changes in the delivery of the subject matter, the students analyzed the problem, the formation of the discussion group with the grouping of students based on their achievement, the students in group for discussion, the group members delivered the discussion result in front of the class.The results showed that the critical thinking ability of the 5th grade students of B1 SD Muhammadiyah Kauman, Yogyakarta increased after the use of Problem Based Learning model in Civics learning with the subject matter of the example of central and regional legislation. This improvement is evident in the improvement of students' critical thinking skill test result from 12.90% pretreatment score to 51.61% (enough) in cycle I and increased to 70.96% (good) in cycle II. The results of activity observations related to students' critical thinking skills are increased among others: active students in learning, students more freely in finding and collecting desired information, and students also have more opportunities to learn with friends.

Education functions to upgrading, forming, character and develop civilization nation. Having the ability to think and actions to effective and creative in the realm of abstract and concrete can be used as self development independently. Students need to armed with critical thinking skills, systematic, logical, creative, and cooperate effectively to obtain, choose, and manage an information. Mathematics learning is directed to develop critical thinking skills and discussed open and objective because mathematics having strong and structure clear and links between the concept of the one with another concept. By analyzing learning needs of mathematics, formulate and designed a learning programs, choose a strategies and evaliated them correctly to get good results. The ability critical thinking is very important in studying new matter and that known way, and learn to ask effectively and reach a conclusion consistent with the facts. Mathematic learning with problem based learning is the concept of better used activity of the student during learning. In accordance with statements from Westwood (2008: 31) stated that PBL: 1) propel oneself directly in learning, 2) prepared students to critical thinking and analytical, 3) give opportunity to students to identify, find and use numerous this approuch in should think, 4) is the learning is very closely related to the real world and motivate students, 5) involving activeness in integrating information and skills of various the discipline, and 6) knowledge and strategy by the possibility of will be maintained and tranferred to the learning situation other, improve the ability to communicate and the social skills needed to cooperation and teamwork. By chance the learning process as an alternative in solving mathematical problems with using the ability critical think an to cultivate the scientific attitude of student.
