The purpose of this research wants to know the effect both grammar mastery and critical thinking towards student’s descriptive writing skill. It wants to know the effect of grammar mastery towards student’s descriptive writing skill. And then, it wants to know the effect of critical thinking towards student’s descriptive writing skill. Research method is a survey research which is taken from 90 students that are chosen randomly sampling technique at private senior high school in Karawang. There are several instruments, which are used in viewing the relationship between two independent variables (grammar mastery and critical thinking) and one dependent variable (descriptive writing skill), namely: (1) multiple choice test to measure the level of knowledge grammar mastery, (2) questionnaires to measure the level of cognitive in critical thinking, and (3) writing test to measure student’s ability in terms of descriptive writing skill. Data analysis technique used SPSS Version 16.0. The result of the research shown that (1) both grammars learned by student and critical thinking ability have effects on the student’s writing skill. This is evidence of the value both independent variables are Fcount = 339,539 and sig as big as 0,000 < 0,05. (2) grammar learnt by the students has effect on the student’s descriptive writing skill, this is evidenced by tcount  = 26,037 and sig as big as 0,000 < 0,05. (3) critical thinking ability has no effect on the student’s descriptive writing skill, this is evidence by tcount = 0,858 and sig as big as 0,393 > 0,05.

This study originated from the lack of utilization of learning media during the learning process. Teaching methods used by teachers are less varied so that learners are only trained in cognitive abilities only while for high-level thinking skills such as critical thinking ability is still low. One alternative that can be done to improve the skills of critical thinking is to utilize the Software Tracker media. This study aims to determine the improvement of critical thinking skills of learners through the use of Software Tracker media on the material impulse and momentum. The research method used is Pre-Experiment with design One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The sample of this research using Purposive Sampling technique. The research instrument used in this research is the critical thinking skills of the students of impulse material and momentum to measure the critical thinking ability of learners. The data analysis technique uses normality test, and t test to normalized n-gain value from pretest and posttest value of learners using Microsoft Excel. The results showed that the critical thinking skills of learners increased after utilizing the Software Tracker media during learning. The result of this research is proved from the significant value of ttable test of 1.691 while t count is 24.53 which means H0 is rejected and Ha accepted. The results of this study indicate that the use of Software Tracker media on the material impulse and momentum have a positive impact on improving the critical thinking skills of learners.

Mathematical Critical thinking is one of  mathematical abilities that must be obtained by students. Critical thinking is one of the high order thinking processes that can make concepts in student knowledge.  Students with critical thinking in mathematics learning mostly do rational activities such as interpreting information based on a particular theoretical framework, linking theory with practice, making claims and justifying it, utilizing data in support of argumentation, making relations or relationships between various ideas, asking questions, evaluating knowledge, predict, describe something, analyze, synthesize, and categorize. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Concept-Based Learning Model on the critical thingking mathematical abilities.The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of Concept-Based Learning Model toward mathematics critical thinking ability. The method used in this research is quasi experiment by Randomize Control Group Post Test Only Design with cluster random sampling technique. Indicators of mathematics critical thinking skills measured in this study include providing simple explanations, building basic skills, concluding, making more explanations, and deciding an action. The results showed that the mathematics critical thinking ability of students in the experimental class for the five indicators that being analyze was higher than the ability of students in the control class. A fairly high difference in the indicator showed in give a simple explanation and concluding. and it means that the application of Concept-Based Learning Model significantly influences the  abilities  of students' mathematics critical thinking.

Abstract: This research is motivated by low students' critical thinking ability. This is caused by the ineffectiveness of learning in the classroom in the learning process with conventional model while the students who receive it more passive and afraid to express the assumption because they think that math is hard to learn. So teachers need to apply a fun learning system and more real in improving the ability to think critically by using Realistic Mathematics Education Approach (RME) to help critical thinking of students to be more critical. This research is an experimental research. The population in this research is all students of class VII SMPN 2 Kota Jambi Academic Year 2017/2018. Sampling using Random Sampling technique, which is taken class VII A and VII D where two classes are given different treatment. This study aims to determine the difference of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach to critical thinking skills of the seventh grade students of SMPN 2 Kota Jambi, the subject of the set. Based on Post-test results can be seen that the critical thinking ability of students of class VIIIA (experiment) SMP Negeri 2 Kota Jambi on the set material, the average value is 76.84 with standard deviation 6.96 whereas in class VIIID (Control) average of 72.75 with standard deviation of 11.64. Based on these calculations there is a difference between the experimental class and the control class, this is the influence of the approach of Realistic Mathematics Edication (RME).Keywords: Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) Approach, Student Critical Thinking Ability

The authors have attempted to understand whether Government and Private school students of Mysore are differ on Critical Thinking and Study Habits. The study was conducted on the sample of 625 students of Mysore City in India using stratified random sampling technique. Results indicated that Government and Private school students differ on their critical thinking and study habits. Those students who were on Private schools had better critical thinking ability and study habits in favour of Government school students. It means, the critical thinking abilities and Study Habits of private school students are better than government school students.  It is being discussed that private institutions enjoy certain advantages against government institutions.
