The study was designed to investigate the effect of using the Marzano model in developing the critical thinking skills of the 10th grade students in social education. The study sample consisted of (66) female students of the tenth grade, which included two groups: the experimental group and the number of female students (33) The officer (33) is a student. The study followed the semi-experimental approach to the application of the study to the tenth grade students. The researcher prepared a test to measure the skills of critical thinking. It consists of (10) paragraphs divided into three fields (analysis, evaluation, conclusion) In order to measure the tribal and remote performance in the two study groups.  The results of the study showed that there is a statistically significant difference at the level of (α = 0.05) in the critical thinking skills of the 10th grade students in the social education field in Jordan due to the teaching method according to the Marzano model.  Based on the results, the study came out with several recommendations, the most important of which are: encouraging teachers to use modern methods of education, holding workshops for teachers to teach them the importance of critical thinking, and the importance of modern models in education.

This study aims to examine the impact of using some of the skills of the (CoRT) program on the development of critical thinking skills among a sample of talented students in King Abdullah II School of Excellence in Tafila Governorate. The sample consisted of 60 male and female students randomly selected. They were divided into two groups: an experimental group that consisted of 30 students exposed to the acquisition of the skills of the CoRT program and the control group that consisted of 30 students who did not study the program. The Watson Glaser critical thinking test was also applied. The results shows a statistically significant effect, at (α≤ 0.05), in improving the critical thinking skills of the students of the experimental group and shows a statistically significant effect on the test of critical thinking skills due to the variable of educational level and for the favor of the ninth grade. The study also reveals that there were no statistically significant differences in the test of critical thinking skills in relation to the the gender variable. The researcher recommends developing the teacher competencies to teach the skills of thinking in general and critical thinking skills, in particular, through the conducting of courses, seminars, and workshops in the CoRT program.

Project-based Learning using video is being used at the University of Yogyakarta in order to examine the impact on students' thinking skills. The Paired Sample t-test analytic method was employed in this study to conduct a quasi-experiment, which is described in detail below. The findings revealed that: 1) the average increase from the pretest score to the posttest score was 4.55 in the experimental class and 3.41 in the control class, and 2) a statistically significant difference in the average increase was observed in the experimental class when the Project-based learning model was used in the classroom. The experimental class uses Project-based Learning, 3) the data in the experimental class is 0.097 (pretest) and 0.062 (posttest). In contrast, the data in the control class is 0.083 (pretest) and 0.064 (posttest), 4) the results of the hypothesis test revealed a significance level of 0. 007 in the experimental class and 0.016 in the control class, both of which were less than the significance level of 0.005, so that H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted. According to the findings of this study, there appears to be an effect of applying the Project-based learning model on students' critical thinking skills in social studies classes. PjBL (project-based learning) models that include video can help students substantially enhance their critical thinking skills.

 This study aims to determine students' critical thinking abilities in SMA Swasta Budisatrya Medan in ecosystem material. The ability to think critically is then analyzed based on indicators and compared with gender. The method used in this research is descriptive method with quantitative and qualitative approaches. The research sample is 69 students. The instrument of data collection is a test of critical thinking skills. Tests are given after students get material from the subject teacher. The technique used to process the scores obtained is to use a benchmark reference assessment technique (PAP). The results showed that students' thinking skills in ecosystem material were on average medium criteria, followed by low categories, then high and only 4 students who had critical thinking skills in the very high category. Overall, students' critical thinking skills are in the medium category. The highest critical thinking ability of students is on the indicators of strategy and tactics with moderate criteria, followed by conclusions, and provides a basic explanation. Furthermore, the lowest critical thinking ability of students is in the indicators of building basic skills and followed by making further explanations. The critical thinking ability of female students is higher than that of male students with an average score of 73 and is in the criteria of being moderate. While the average value of critical thinking skills of male students is only 64 and is in the low criteria. There is no significant difference between the critical thinking abilities of male and female students.

The objective of this study was to determine students' critical thinking skills based on gender. This quantitative research involved 57 students of the Natural Sciences Education Study Program, Universitas Hasyim Asy’ari. The instrument employed was critical thinking skills test. The data was analyzed using independent samples t-test. The results showed that the average scores of critical thinking skills of male and female students were 2.60 and 2.99 respectively. In addition, there was significant difference of students’ critical thinking skills between male and female [t (55) = 2.065, p = 0.044]. In conclusion, female students tend to have the higher critical thinking skills than the male.

Educators in the twenty-first century need to think of innovative ways to engage and prepare students for current and future challenges while cultivating an interest among students in STEM disciplines. This study sought to investigate the impact of problem-based learning on students’ content knowledge and critical thinking towards STEM. This study employed a quasi-experimental repeated measure design. Instruments such as STEM content assessments and a standardized critical thinking test were employed for data collection. Analysis was conducted using a mixed repeated measure between-within subject analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results revealed a significant difference (p <. 05) between problem-based learning and traditional learning groups in regard to their content knowledge and critical thinking skills.
