The aims of this study to determine the improvement of students' critical thinking skills through the application of learning model the Problem Based Learning in Biology subjects in class X SMA Negeri 1 Kluet Tengah. The subjects in this study were students of class X SMA Negeri 1 Kluet Tengah, with total of 31 students, with focus of this research critical thinking skills ability in Biology subjects. The research design used was classroom action research, which was conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists of four stages, namely: planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting. In the pre-cycle, the students 'critical thinking ability was 37.81% in the less critical category, since implementation of the first cycle the students' critical thinking ability became 51.80% with the fairly critical category. In cycle II, the average achievement of students' critical thinking skills has increased to 76.90% in the critical category. Thus the results of this study indicate that the application of learning model the Problem Based Learning can improve students' critical thinking skills in Biology subjects in Class X SMA Negeri 1 Kluet Tengah.

Critical thinking skills of mathematics students are still low. Teachers lack training critical thinking ability of students during learning. This study aims to examine differences influence learning model group investigation and conventional learning models to the critical thinking skills of mathematics students. The research design was pretest-posttest control group design. The study population was all students in grade X SMAN 3 Kendari comprising 9 parallel classes. Samples were taken by purposive sampling, such as taking two classes that have the mathematical ability and the variance is relatively the same. Both classes were then randomized to determine the experimental class (34 students) and control class (32 students). Data collected through the provision of critical thinking skills tests as essay test form. Data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential test using t test at the 0.05 significance level. The results showed that: (1) there is an effects of the application of learning model group investigation of the critical thinking skills of mathematics students with an average N-Gain of 0.55 (medium); (2) there is an effect of the application of conventional learning models to the critical thinking skills of mathematics students with an average N-Gain of 0.283 (low); and (3) application of the learning model group investigation is more influential than the application of conventional learning model to mathematics students' critical thinking skills

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.

Implementation of Curriculum 2013 requires students to learn actively, independently, and critical thinking. Critical thinking is an activity through thinking about ideas related to concepts or problems. The efforts to improve critical thinking skills of learners can be done by using the appropriate learning model. One of the learning models that can be used to improve the ability of critical thinking is a problem-based learning model. This type of research is quasi experiment with randomized control-group pretest posttest design. The sample of this research choosed by used purposive sampling method. Class VIII6 as experimental class and class VIII4 as control class. Data of this research result are quantitative data of critical thinking ability. Data were analyzed by using t test. The results showed that the mean difference of posttest value with pretest value of critical thinking ability of experimental class learners is higher than control class. Hypothesis testing with t-test obtained tcalculate=2,94>ttable= 1,67, then H1 accepted. Based on these results the authors conclude that the implementation of problem-based learning model has a positive effect on the ability to think critically learners on the material additives and addictive substances.

This research is motivated by mathematical critical thinking skills and students' learning independence that is not yet optimal becomes something that teachers need to pay attention to their students by providing an appropriate learning model to foster this. Based on the 2013 curriculum advocates the development of learning outcomes in cognitive and affective components developed simultaneously and proportionally. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Jigsaw type cooperative learning models on mathematical critical thinking skills and student learning independence. This type of research is a quasi-experimental research. This study uses a Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design research design. The research instrument was tested for validation by content validation before being trialled. Data analysis techniques in this study were Multavariate Normality Test, Covariance Matter Homogeneity Test, Hotelling Trace T2 Test and t Test. In the preliminary data analysis, which was taken from the daily test scores and scale sheets of the pretest attitude of students' learning independence, showed there was no difference in the average mathematical critical thinking ability and student learning independence between the experimental class and the control class. In the final data analysis taken from the posttest, it can be concluded that the average mathematical critical thinking ability that uses the Jigsaw type cooperative learning model is better than the conventional learning model. But the results of the study also showed the average independence of student learning using the Jigsaw type cooperative learning model is the same as the conventional learning model.
