This study attempts to explore the effectiveness of task-based cooperative writing instruction on critical thinking and English writing development. To address the issues, an experiment is carried out between two university classes, who received task-based cooperative writing and traditional non-source based writing respectively. Based on the analysis, the major findings are obtained as follows. Firstly, task-based cooperative writing could effectively cultivate college students’ critical thinking abilities in general and students’ critical thinking affective disposition and cognitive skill to a significant degree in particular; Secondly, as for the 7 critical thinking sub-dispositions, the analyticity is improved to a significant level while CT-confidence, inquisitiveness, truth-seeking, maturity, open-mindedness and systematicity are not significantly enhanced. And as for the 6 critical thinking sub-skills, interpretation, explanation, inference, and analysis are all developed to a significant extent while self-regulation failed to reach the significant level; Finally, students’ writing proficiency is also promoted. College students’ critical thinking ability is positively and significantly correlated with their writing proficiency. Among the critical thinking sub-dispositions, there exists a positive correlation between students’ writing quality and truth-seeking as well as maturity. And the correlations between the writing quality and all the critical thinking sub-skills are positive and significant.

The critical thinking ability is an indispensable ability of contemporary college students, and the PBL teaching mode abandons the shortcomings of traditional teaching methods, which is more suitable for the development trend of university curriculum teaching reform in China. In order to understand the influence of PBL teaching mode on college students’ critical thinking ability, the research is carried out into English critical thinking dispositions and skills of the second grade English education majors in Jiangxi Province, via questionnaire, interview, English test and PBL teaching experiment. And the results indicate that the PBL teaching model can improve the three English critical thinking temperament level of analysis, open and fair, and it can significantly improve the two English critical thinking skills of analysis and interpretation, but did not improve the English scores of the students significantly. The purpose of this study is to enrich the research on the influence of PBL teaching model and English critical thinking ability, and so as to provide some reference for improving the quality of English teaching in colleges and universities.

This research aims to describe students' critical thinking ability in science subjects based on learning style. The research method uses qualitative research with phenomenological approaches. The research site was conducted at SMP Muhammadiyah 5 Tulangan Sidoarjo. Data retrieval techniques using tests, questionnaires, and interviews. Data analysis techniques using the Miles & Huberman (2014) model include data reduction, data presentation, verification and conclusions. There are 6 indicators of critical thinking abilities revealed that include interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation (Facione, 2013). The study only used 5 indicators of critical thinking ability without self-regulation, this is because they cannot be revealed in a short time. The results of the study found that (1) indicators achieved in visual learning styles include interpretation, evaluation, and inference, (2) indicators achieved in auditory learning styles namely interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and explanation, and (3) indicators achieved in kinesthetic learning styles namely: interpretation and evaluation. All subjects achieved not same indicators, while the all subjects also did not achieve all indicators of critical thinking ability. Further research is expected to be the efforts of natural science teachers in achieving all indicators of critical thinking ability, among others by doing habituation and consistent in training critical thinking ability.Keywords: Critical thinking ability,Secondary school student’s,Natural Science,Learning Style
