This study aims to explore the effectiveness of inquiry learning models inter-vened by the reflective process to promote the critical thinking ability of preserv-ice teachers in terms of cognitive style. This study is a quasi-experimental re-search with one-group pretest posttest design. The research sample involved 24 preservice physics teachers who studied at the Physics Education Department - Mandalika University of Education (Undikma). Cognitive style measurement us-es the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) to identify groups of preservice teachers into the field dependent (FD) or field independent (FI) cognitive style. Measurement of critical thinking ability using test instruments in the form of es-says consisting of 8 test items. Critical thinking ability score is analyzed descrip-tively and statistically, where the normality test and paired t-test was conducted. The results of the study show that as many as 13 preservice teachers are catego-rized into the FD cognitive style and 11 categorized into the FI cognitive style. The average pretest score of the two cognitive style groups (FD and FI) was 0.87 with the criteria of "less critically", and after the implementation of the inquiry learning model intervened by the reflective process, the average posttest score was 16.25 with the criteria of "critically," and n- a gain of 0.64 with the criteria of "moderate." These results indicate that the inquiry learning model intervened by the reflective process is effective to promote critical thinking ability of preservice teachers with FD and FI cognitive styles.

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

This study aims to: (1) To find out the differences of mathematical critical thinking ability of students taught with the STAD type cooperative learning model compared to conventional learning models; (2) To find out the difference of mathematical critical thinking ability of students who have high social skills compared to students who have low social skills; and (3) To find out the interaction between learning models and social skills in effecting the students' critical thinking ability. The population in this study were all grade four students at SD Negeri 05 Pauh Lubuk Sikaping, the number of students was 54, consisting of four grade A and four grade B. Data collection techniques used in this study were social skills questionnaires and critical thinking skills tests. The data analysis technique used in this study was inferential statistical techniques. Hypothesis testing is done by Two Way Anova test with a significant level of 0.05. The results showed that: (1) mathematical critical thinking ability of students taught with the STAD type cooperative learning model was higher than mathematical critical thinking ability of students taught with the conventional learning model (Fcount = 21.164 and sig. 0.000> 0.05); (2) The mathematical critical thinking ability of students who have high social skills was higher than the mathematical critical thinking ability of students who have low social skills (Fcount = 6.756 and sig. 0.012> 0.05); and (3) There was an interaction between learning models and social skills in effecting mathematical critical thinking ability of students (Fcount = 7.054 and sig. 0.011> 0.05).

This article describes the effects of inquiry learning model on college students’ cognitive and critical thinking skills. The research aims at understanding the extent inquiry learning model improves the college students’ cognitive and critical thinking skills in the lessons of educational philosophy and exploring students’ responses to the model. This is a pre-experimental research design, using the one group pretest-posttest design. The samples of the study were an intact class, the experimental group and no control group is needed. The data was analysed using independent test samples t-test and Normalized Gain test. The Research found that the inquiry model is effective in improving college students’ cognitive and critical thinking ability in an educational philosophy class. Overall, the N-Gain indicator of cognitive ability increased by an average of 0.66, and the N-Gain indicator of critical thinking skills increased by an average of 0.63.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Keywords: Congnitive skill, Critical thinking, Inquiry learning, Educational Philosophy, College Student

Critical thinking has become the main competency of 21st century learning and encourages the development of learner critical thinking at the higher education level regarded as an important outcome of education. This study develop an inquiry learning model which are intervened by reflective processes in their teaching, or in its development called Reflectif-Inquiry Learning (RIL) Model which is specificly aim to improve critical thinking ability of preservice teachers. This research is the first step in development research in which the RIL model developed was constructed based on theoretical and empirical studies so that it gave birth to a hypothetical framework of the RIL model itself. The RIL model product was then validated by involving 7 experts as validators through the focuss group discussion (FGD) mechanism. Validation aspects include content validity and construct validity. The data from the validation of the model were analyzed descriptively by averaging the results of validation. The validation results of the RIL model show that the validity level (Va) of 4,28 in a very valid category. Whereas Va in the content validity and construct validity aspects are 4,26 and 4,32, both in the very valid category. The hypothetical framework model developed based on the conceptual frame and the results of its validation is provided in this article.

Critical thinking is a purposeful and clear process used in mental activities such as problem solving, decision making, persuading, analyzing assumptions and conducting scientific research. The ability of thinking critically is effected by the competence of knowledge acquired by the students. Based on midterm exam, the result showed that 87,5% of students do not meet the minimum exhaustiveness criteria (KKM). One way that can be condusted to overcome it is applying inquiry learning model.the purpose of this research is to find out the effect of inquiry learning model towards studens’ critical thinking skills. The research is Quasi experiment research by using Randomized Control-Group Research Posttest Only Design. The population is VIII class student in SMPN 11 Padang. The sample is VIII.B students as an experiment class and VIII.C students as a control class, that are selected by purposive sampling technique. The instrument used is final test in form of essays to see the effect of inquiry laerning model of critical thinking ability of students. The hypothesis in this research is examinated by t-test, because the data is distributed normally and it has homogenen variation. Based on the research, the result showed that critical thinkingability t arithmetic > t table (4,23 > 1,67). Therefore, the hypothesis is accepted it can be concluded than applying inquiry learning model can give positive effecttowards students competence of critical thinking ability about excretion system in VIII class SMPN 11 Padang.
