Abstract

To Improving the quality of science education was done through thinking of science and development thinking science, because it can to increase high order thinking skills students. The Critical thinking is one of part high order thinking skills; the critical thinking is meant corrected thinking in search for relevant and reliable knowledge about the world of reality. The Critical thinking is a mental activity in terms of problem solving, making decisions, analyzing assumptions, evaluating, giving rational, and conducts an investigation. The Critical thinking meant as correct thinking in the search for relevant and reliable knowledge about the world of reality because one of the goals of learning critical thinking in the teaching of science is to improve students thinking skills and also prepare students to face the challenges of everyday life. This research was focused to analysis of critical thinking skills students in junior high school. The participant are students of the junior school (N=80). Data was collected using critical thinking test which consists of eight questions. The Result of analysis shown the percentage of critical thinking skills in each indicator are: 1) Elementary clarification 62%; 2) Basic support 43.5%; 3) Inference 43.8%; 4) strategies and tactic 13%; 5) a further explanation of 20.6%. If refer to from based on gender, male and female student have almost same score in each indicator, Mean of critical thinking skills in each Indicator for male student are: (1) Elementary clarification 1.5; (2) Basic support 0.9; (3) Inference 1.1; (4) strategies and tactic 0.4; (5) a further explanation 0.5. and Female student are: 1) Elementary clarification 1.5; (2) Basic support 1.1; (3) Inference 0.9; (4) strategies and tactic 0.2; (5) a further explanation 0.5., it’s meant both can answers the question critical thinking in science lessons
