Mathematical problem solving and critical thinking is two skills that need to be improved through learning mathematics. Metacognitive approach is one approach to improve them. This study aims to examine differences in the improvement of problem solving skills and mathematical critical thinking between students who get learning with a metacognitive approach and students who get conventional learning. This research is an experimental study with a pre-test post-test control group design research design. The population was all students of class XI of SMAN 3 Banda Aceh by taking samples of two classes, namely the experimental class and the control class through purposive sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using problem solving ability tests and mathematical critical thinking tests. Data analysis used t-test and analysis of variance. The results show that overall the improvement of students' mathematical problem solving and critical thinking skills that are learning with a metacognitive approach are better than students who obtain conventional learning, and there is an interaction between learning approaches and student ratings on mathematical problem-solving abilities

Berpikir kritis merupakan kemampuan yang dapat dipelajari dan dilatihkan agar mampu memecahkan masalah secara efektif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa dalam memecahkan masalah kalkulus. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif deskriptif. Subjek dari penelitian ini adalah tiga orang mahasiswa program studi Pendidikan Matematika IKIP Budi Utomo Malang yang berkemampuan matematika tinggi. Instrumen yang digunakan yaitu soal pemecahan masalah Kalkulus dan pedoman wawancara. Instrumen dibuat untuk menggali kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa dalam memecahkan masalah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa subjek mampu menunjukkan kemampuan berpikir kritis yang tinggi. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan terpenuhinya seluruh indikator kemampuan berpikir kritis dalam memecahkan masalah matematika yaitu menggunakan penalaran pada tahap memahami masalah, menganalisis keterkaitan masing-masing bagian dari keseluruhan untuk menghasilkan sistem yang kompleks pada tahap membuat perencanaan, menganalisis dan mengevaluasi fakta-fakta pada tahap melaksanakan perencanaan, dan menarik kesimpulan berdasarkan hasil analisis pada tahap memeriksa kembali. Walaupun ketiga subjek memenuhi keseluruhan indikator berpikir kritis, namun masing-masing subjek menunjukkan proses pemecahan masalah yang berbeda. Masalah open-ended dapat dipertimbangkan dalam melatihkan kemampuan berpikir kritis sekaligus mengakomodasi berbagai tingkatan akademik mahasiswa.AbstractCritical thinking is an ability that can be learned and trained to be able to solve problems effectively. This study aims to describe students' critical thinking skills in solving calculus problems. This type of study was descriptive qualitative research. The subjects were three undergraduate students of the IKIP Budi Utomo Malang Mathematics Education with high mathematical abilities. The research instruments were calculus problem solving questions and interview guidelines. The instruments used to explore students' critical thinking skills in solving problems. The results showed that subjects were able to demonstrate high critical thinking skills. This is indicated by the fulfillment of all indicators of critical thinking skills in solving mathematical problems, namely using reasoning at the stage of understanding the problem, analyzing the relationship of each part of the whole to produce a complex system at the stage of devising a plan, analyzing and evaluating the facts at the stage of carrying out the plan, and draw conclusions based on the results of the analysis at the stage of looking back. Although all three subjects fulfill all indicators of critical thinking skills, each subject shows a different problem solving process. Open ended problems can be considered to develop critical thinking skills while accommodating various academic levels of students.

The 21st century physics educators are expected to have 21st century skills, one of which is having life and career skills. One of the life skills assets is professional entrepreneurship. This study aimed to 1) determine the profile of students' critical thinking skills in innovating problem-solving during physics entrepreneurship course and 2) determine students’ responses about critical thinking skills in innovating problem solving.  This research conducted using preliminary research methods with data collection techniques in the form of description test instrument that filled out by students, and student questionnaires instrument. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively qualitatively.  The study was conducted on 30 students of department of physics education at a university in the city of Palangkaraya.  The results showed that all aspects of critical thinking skills (Facione's version) that were measured, namely the ability to interpret, analyze, evaluate, inference, explain, and self-regulation were on average in the low category (56.9%).   Students gave agreed (A) to very agreed (VA) responses to the implementation of learning that applied critical thinking skills in innovating to solve problems. These results can be concluded that the students have very limited critical thinking skills in solving entrepreneurial problems, so that efforts are needed to improve students' critical thinking skills in solving entrepreneurial problems, one of which is by developing a learning model that can be applied to physics entrepreneurship course which hopefully can improve critical thinking skills of physics education students.

This study aims to see the effect of literacy skills on students' critical thinking skills. This research type is a correlational study to know the relationship between literacy skills and students' critical thinking skills. The total population is 168 students, and the level of precision is set at 10%. A sample of 63 respondents will be obtained, taken using a simple random sampling technique. The data analysis used in this study is a simple regression analysis with the product-moment correlation coefficient formula. The results showed that literacy skills positively correlate with students' critical thinking skills by 80%. It shows that besides literacy, there are still 20% of other factors that can affect students' critical thinking skills.

This study aims to describe the students' mathematical problem solving abilities and the factors that influence the mathematical problem solving abilities of students in grade II of SDN 1 Selabintana. This type of research uses qualitative methods with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques in this study were through observation and in-depth interviews. The data source of this research was in the form of data from interviews with grade II teachers of SDN 1 Selabintana. The data analysis technique uses the Miles and Huberman analysis model which is done interactively and continuously until it is complete so that the data is saturated. The results of this study indicate that the ability to solve mathematical problems through Class II questions SDN 1 Selabintana include: Ability to understand questions, ability to plan problem solving, the ability to answer and solve problems, and the ability to check the results of answers. As well as the factors that influence the mathematical problem solving ability of students in grade II SDN 1 Selabintana include: Learning difficulties, concentration, motivation, critical thinking skills, learning enthusiasm, learning media, and professional educators.
