Carried on in non-English major freshman students setting, this study aims to examine how critical thinking skills can be developed through cooperative learning in their argumentative essay writing. An experimental group (n=20) and a control group (n=20) were randomly set up, the students were pre-tested and post-tested to see if there is a significant difference in their assigned essay through the Illinois Critical Thinking Essay Scoring Rubric. The implementation of critical thinking rubrics was carried out by 1) supporting students in cooperation, 2) offering the objective 3) fostering students to develop their ideas in writing. The Paired Sample T-test was used to calculate the difference between the pre-and post-test results. Results confirmed that in the Paired Sample t-test, the mean score (-5000) of the experimental group is statistically higher than the mean of the control group’s (-3900). It indicates that the implementation of the critical thinking strategy effectively develops and promotes students’ critical thinking skills in argumentative essay writing. Through the implementation of five key elements of critical thinking by Sadeghi (2012), students were more open-minded, tolerant, objective, honest and concise, respecting others, and interpreting situations differently. The research offered a different perspective on developing students’ critical thinking strategy use by focusing on longer periods of research and the larger number of participants and also implied the integration of critical thinking scoring rubric and argumentative essay skill performance for future research.

The meeting was organized using Zoom Meeting with performing Warm-Up, Lead-In (Creation of Poem and Reading the Poem), and Follow-up. In addition, it was also found that the student’s creative works posted on Instagram were based on the negative variations of poetry tone including threatening, painful, and discouraged. The study underscores the pedagogical efficacy of student-centered creative writing in ELT, highlighting its role in enhancing emotional intelligence and validating the integration of digital platforms for remote learning. It advocates for culturally responsive curricula that leverage creative expression as a conduit for emotional articulation and critical thinking

Critical thinking skills (CTS) are important skills in the 21st century and are part of the school curriculum in Indonesia. However, validation of CTS instruments often relies only on content validation, while psychometric validation such as the Rasch model is rarely used. This study aims to validate a critical thinking test using the Rasch model to assess data suitability, measure the CTS of junior high school students in Surabaya, and identify item bias based on gender and school ranking. Data were obtained from 143 junior high school students with 10 multiple-choice questions. The results of the analysis showed that female students tend to have higher CTS than male students, while students from high-ranking schools showed a better distribution of abilities compared to moderate and low-ranking schools. Differential item functioning (DIF) analysis identified one item (EC2) that showed gender bias, and seven items (EC1, EC2, BS1, I1, I2, AC1, ST2) showed DIF based on school ranking. These findings suggest that although this test is generally fair for measuring CTS, there are inequities that need to be addressed to ensure the test is more inclusive and fair for all groups of students. The researcher hopes that this study contributes as a case of reference for future research in assessing CTS in junior high school students

Higher-order thinking skills are essential for students in the twenty-first century, with critical thinking being one of the most important. Despite its significance, Indonesian students' critical thinking skills often fall short of international standards. This may be attributed to science education that frequently overlooks socio-cultural environments. By integrating guided inquiry learning models with local wisdom, specifically tapai jringkeng, this study aims to examine the improvement of critical thinking skills in the 9-B class at SMPN 1 Kotaanyar. The research utilized a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 23 students. Data were gathered using an essay-based test consisting of five questions and analyzed with the N-gain formula. The findings revealed an N-gain score of 0.77, categorized as a high level, indicating a significant improvement in students' critical thinking skills. The study suggests that incorporating local wisdom into inquiry-based learning can enhance cognitive engagement and foster a deeper understanding of the context. Additionally, this research contributes to science education by offering a culturally responsive teaching model that fosters critical thinking through the inclusion of local wisdom.
