The article attempts to reveal the essence of the concept«critical thinking» and to consider the development of this kindof thinking in higher school students at foreign languageclasses. It is noted that the ability to acquire skills independentlyand use them in practical activities, and not only the amount ofacquired knowledge, has an essential role to play in the adaptationof a graduate to the realities of modern society. Therefore, thecritical thinking technology applying, as well as the traditionalforms of activity in higher education in the process of foreignlanguage teaching, is seen as a clear necessity. The articlenotes that the main purpose of critical thinking development ofstudents who do not have the developed skills to think criticallyis to extend the mental competence to solve social, scientific andpractical problems effectively. Students of higher educationalestablishments have a range of considerable knowledge andsufficient social experience. They are able to transform theexisting knowledge and skills into competencies, provided thatthey are highly motivated and there are active cognitive activities.Thus, the task of teaching critical thinking skills is to developthe cognitive activity of students based on logical, research andcritical thinking. On the basis of the analysis of the practicalexperience of a foreign language course teaching in a higherschool, the development opportunities are revealed andstrategies of the critical thinking development of students inforeign language classes are considered (annotation, preview,contextualization, self-questioning, reflexion, evaluative judgment,comparison and contrasting). Certain methods, promoting criticalthinking at different stages of learning have been proposedin the paper (Basket of ideas, concepts; Cluster; Margin notes;Сinquain making; Training brainstorming; Essay writing). It hasbeen concluded that the critical thinking technology applied atforeign language classes at higher schools significantly increasesthe time of language practice for each student, helps to facilitatetheir learning acquisition, addresses a wide range of educationaland developmental tasks. The teacher becomes an organizerof students' independent educational, communicative andcreative activities and has the opportunity to improve the learningprocess, develop students' communicative skills and developtheir personality comprehensively.

The role of education is to improve the quality of education, especially in producing high-quality students. High-quality students are those who are able to think critically, creatively, logically and take initiatives in responding to issues in society caused by the impact of the development of science and technology. This study aims to determine the effect of a scientific approach to students' critical thinking skills. This study is an experimental research with one group pretest-posttest design. The sample of this study consisted of one class (28 students), which was treated using a scientific approach. Critical thinking skills are measured using a test instrument and then analyzed statistically (t test). Hypothesis test results indicate that there is an effect of using a scientific approach toward students' critical thinking skills.

The contemporary demands of the education environment today require that teachers refine their reflective thinking skills and shift towards the deeper critical thinking skills inherent in reflexive thinking. Reflexivity is a deeper level of critical thinking that assumes a degree of metacognition and “knowing-in-action” (Schon, 1983, p. 50). Metacognition is a critical tool in helping individuals become more aware of their deeply seeded biases and tacit assumptions about the way the world works. Through a phenomenological analysis of four individual case studies, this study found that student feedback was a key catalyst for building reflexivity skills. Specifically, the study details the key ways by which feedback prompted novice teachers to metacognitively think through their knowing-in-action and ultimately improve their teaching practice. The research details important implications in three areas: 1) practice, 2) theory, and 3) future research.

This research refers to the lack of students' critical thinking skills in science subjects. This is caused by passive teacher learning because it still dominates learning activities and the lack of students paying attention to the environment in socio-culture. Peethnoscience learning teaches science which is contained in local wisdom in society, in this case, learning about local culture can improve students' critical thinking skills. It will need ethnoscience directly could observing learning about the culture as a learning environment in the learning process in elementary schools, so that students can identify scientific problems and explain phenomena scientifically. This research aims to analyze about important role of ethnoscience-based Natural Science learning to develop the thinking skills of elementary school students. Type the research method used was the literature review method (literature review). Data collection techniques in this study are from various sources, namely articles and scientific journals that come from google scholar and Scopus. The conclusion of this study ethnoscience-based learning encourages students to think critically through mental activity, it's using ethnoscience-based science learning that can support students to develop abilities in response to information received by considering all aspects related to that information. Abstrak Penelitian ini merujuk pada kurangnya kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa pada mata pelajaran IPA. Hal tersebut disebabkan oleh pembelajaran guru yang pasif karena masih mendominasi kegitan pembelajaran dan kurangnya siswa dalam memperhatikan lingkungan pada sosial budaya. Pembelajaran etnosains mengajarkan Ilmu Pengetahuan yang didalamnya terkandung pada kearifan lokal di masyarakat,dalam hal ini pembelajaran tentang budaya lokal dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa. Maka diperlukannya etnosains yang secara langsung dapat mengamati pembelajaran tentang budaya sebagai lingkungan belajar dalam proses pembelajaran di sekolah dasar, agar siswa dapat mengidentifikasi masalah keilmuan dan menjelaskan fenomena secara ilmiah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis tentang pentingnya peranan pembelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam berbasis etnosains untuk mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir siswa sekolah dasar.

Implementation of the 2013 curriculum has generally used recommended models, but the role of the work-sheets used in the learning process still does not facilitate students' critical thinking skills. The research aims to evaluate the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the development worksheets on the microbial concepts based on urban wetlands to improve students' critical thinking skills. The development of work-sheets was carried out in 2 phases; preliminary research phase and prototype phase using the Tessmer design. Content validation uses a validation assessment sheet instrument. The practicality data of the contents was using an assessment sheet instrument on the worksheet structure. Practicality data (expectations and actual) were collected using a practicality sheet instrument obtained from students' responses to the contents of the worksheet. Effectiveness data (expectations and actual) are obtained based on the results of critical thinking skills, interpersonal skills (cooperation), and intra-personal skills (responsible). Data analysis techniques by calculating the percentage of validation refer to Akbar (2017), practicality test, and effectiveness test with criteria referring to Purwanto (2012). The results showed that worksheets for students were valid and were practical for users with the practicality of contents and practicality of expectations is good. Work-sheets was declared to be effectively used based on the results of the critical thinking skills, interpersonal skills (collaboration), and intra-personal skills (meticulous), and the value of the effectiveness of expectations is good categories too.
