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

Critical thinking ability is one manifestation of the learning of mathematics in HOT (High Order Thinking). Based on data in the field that the critical thinking ability of the students is still low. In studying the subject matter, students have different learning styles. This research aims to test the effectiveness of learning model learning Cycle 7E, the influence of learning style against the students ability of critical thinking and analysis of students’ mathematical critical thinking ability in visual learning style. The methods used in this research was Mixed Design Model; the Sequential Explanatory Method. The subject of this research is grade VIII. Collecting data of learning style using questionnaire and mathematical critical thinking ability with tests. And also using Learning Cycle 7E model on the material of the cube and the beams. Quantitative analysis was conducted to test the effectiveness of learning “Learning Cycle 7E” model, and to test the influence of learning style against the ability of mathematical critical thingking. While the analysis of the qualitative done to deepen the results of research on mathematical description of the critical thinking ability of students in visual learning style through interviews. Based on the data analysis, so the conclusion is that Learning Cycle 7E model was effective in improving the ability of mathematical critical thinking, it can be seen the result that the proportion of students who got a value KBKM greater than or equal with KKM = 70 have exceeded 75%, while the average difference test of class experiments and classroom control were t-count=6,497>t-tabel=1,671. this shows that the average students’ mathematical critical thinking ability taught by Learning Cycle 7E more than average than students’ mathematical critical thinking ability taught with conventional learning. Learning styles affect the students’ mathematical critical thinking ability, this is retrieved based on the test results of the Kruskal Wallis with Asym value sig is 0.046 < 0.05. The visual learning style has the best ability of mathematical critical thinking on inference, deductions and interpreting information aspects. While on, assumptions and evaluation of argument aspects have been quite good.
