Critical thinking skills are important in the context of 21st-century learning, where students are able to express reasons that support the assumptions or conclusions they obtain. A preliminary study at 25 Bandar Lampung Middle Schools found that science learning had not been maximized in training critical thinking skills. This study aims to determine the effect of applying the Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI) learning model on students' critical thinking skills based on differences in academic abilities, gender, and personality type. This study used Nonequivalent (Pretest and Posttest) Control Group Design and One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The data of pretest and posttest essay questions results analyzed using nonparametric statistical tests. The results showed that there was an effect of ADI learning on critical thinking skills in high and low academic students. Moreover, this model provided a greater influence on students' high academic abilities. The ADI model could also accommodate all male and female students with various types of personality types because the gender and personality type aspects do not show significant differences in students' critical thinking abilities, both between male and female students and students with different personality types. Overall, the ADI model is effective in improving students' critical thinking skills.

Critical thinking is an important thing in building learners' knowledge. Students who have these skills will be able to solve problems effectively. This study examines the effect of science teaching materials based on the 5E learning cycle integrated with local wisdom in terms of gender on students' critical thinking skills. This quasi-experimental research with a pre-test-post-test control group design was carried out at Madrasah Tsanawiyah. Purposive sampling was used to select the research sample, including an experiment and a control group of equal ability between male and female students. The data were analyzed using a t-test and N-gain test to determine the improvement of critical thinking skills in both groups. The results showed that this teaching material affected students' critical thinking skills by the results of the t-test. The difference in the improvement of students' critical thinking skills is significant based on the result of N-gain and categorized as high. Students become more critical in solving problems after study using 5E integrated by local wisdom. The result shows an impact of this teaching material on first to fourth indicators of critical thinking skills. The fifth indicator is not affected by this teaching material because of students' weakness in elaborate the solution. There were also significant differences in the improvement of male and female students' critical thinking skills. One of them is that male students have a quicker response and higher self-confidence than female students in solving the problems. Based on this result, we conclude that applying science teaching material with 5E integrated by local wisdom positively affects students' critical thinking skills.

In today’s 21st century, people are demanded to have the ability to communicate and to think critically. In addition, we are also expected to possess leadership qualities. In achieving such competencies, IT-Assisted Project Based Learning (PjBL) model can be used as an alternative. Hence, this study was conducted, aiming at determining whether there is an effect of Instagram-Assisted PjBL model on students' critical thinking skills in sociology subjects. This research was a Quasi-Experimental Study, with Nonrandomized Control Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The research data were obtained using objective tests in the form of multiple choice questions, which have passed validity, reliability, discrimination power, and difficulty level test. The data were analyzed using parametric statistical tests, in the form of comparative analysis and N-Gain. The results of the study showed that Instagram-Assisted Project Based Learning model had an impact on students' critical thinking abilities. The results of N-Gain test also showed that the increase in students of experimental class’ critical thinking skills is higher than that of the students in control class. This implies that Instagram-Assisted Project Based Learning models can be used as a supplement in strengthening constructivist-oriented learning theories.
