Abstract

This study aims to determine the critical thinking skills of high school students in grade XI in the subject of chemical bonding. The type of research used is quantitative descriptive with a population of 107 students in grade XI IPA, consisting of classes XI A, XI B, and XI C. The research instrument is an essay test consisting of 11 questions compiled based on critical thinking skill indicators. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics in the form of percentages and categorized into five levels. The results showed that class XI A was dominated by the high (33.3%) and very high (30.5%) categories, class XI B had a distribution in the very high category (33.3%) but also quite large in the low category (27.7%), while class XI C was mostly in the low (34.2%) and very low (31.4%) categories. Analysis of critical thinking aspects shows that the highest achievement is in the aspect of providing simple explanations, while the lowest achievement is in the aspects of summarizing and providing further explanations
