Efforts to develop critical thinking skills are still educational goals which are expected to improve learning outcomes which have an impact on the performance and quality of students. It is important to measure critical thinking skills so that the right techniques can be found to develop and improve these thinking skills. This study aims to describe critical thinking skills and their relationship with science learning outcomes of SMPN students in the city of Mataram. This type of research is a quantitative descriptive study with a sample of 418 Grade VII students and 435 Grade VIII students who were determined using purvosive techniques. Collecting data using test instruments that have been validated by experts and tested for reliability. The results showed that the critical thinking skills profile of the students of SMPN Mataram City was classified as moderate, with an average score of 68.83 for grade seven (VII) and 70.69 for grade eight (VIII). So it can be said that the relationship between critical thinking skills and science learning outcomes is very low as indicated by the R square value. R square for class VII is 0.074, which means that critical thinking skills have an effect of 7% on science learning outcomes. R square for class VII is 0.097, which means that critical thinking skills have an effect of 9% on science learning outcomes. The critical thinking skills of SMPN students in Mataram City needs to be improved by improving the learning process and learning evaluation tools.

This study aims to analyze the critical thinking skills of junior high school students on Pythagoras material. Subjects in this study are students of class VIII-F in SMP Negeri 1 Ngamprah with the number of students 37 people. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive. This type is chosen because it aims to describe the skills of students in solving problems of mathematical critical thinking independently. The research phase is divided into three, namely planning, implementation, and reporting. The technique of collecting data in the form of test. Data analysis techniques based on indicators of mathematical critical thinking skills that has been determined by researchers include: (1) identifying the concepts used in problem solving, (2) formulating an action (strategy, tactics, or approach) in solving problems, (3) providing arguments or reasons for answering and solving problems, and (4) evaluating evidence or decisions taken in solving the problem. The results obtained quantitatively show that the level of mathematical critical thinking skills of students in SMP Negeri 1 Ngamprah in solving the problems on Pythagoras material still falls into the low category. The evidence from the percentage of each indicator with the highest rate of only 61%. Some factors influence the level of students critical thinking skills, including the preparation of incomplete and appropriate strategies, provide arguments without showing the truth, and the students' accuracy in working on the questions.

Critical thinking is one of the 21st Century skills involved in education and is required of students nowadays. The study investigated the critical thinking skills of Junior high school students from three selected public schools in Region 3, Luzon, Philippines.  Infusion of the critical thinking in Chemistry through selected teaching strategies of inquiry-based, problem solving, collaborative, and lecture methods. CEU-Lopez Critical Thinking Skills Test (2012) with a reliability test value of 0.87 was used to measure the students’ critical thinking skill levels. Triangulation of inquiry-based teaching, problem solving, and collaborative teaching methods was used as an intervention to determine the enhancement of the respondents’ critical thinking skills and academic performance. Gathered data were processed statistically through descriptive and inferential tests.  Results revealed that there is a significant difference in the critical thinking skill levels of Junior high school students in Chemistry. The critical thinking skill levels of the student respondents were highly comparable with respect on their academic performance in Chemistry.  The students demonstrated good knowledge, attitude and performance in Chemistry after the infusion of the critical thinking approach in the intervention. The different teaching strategies utilized in the research were applicable in the enhancement of the critical thinking skills of the Junior high school students in Chemistry.
