Abstract

21st century education emphasizes the development of six core skills (6Cs): critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity, culture, and connectivity. In biology education, deep understanding and analytical thinking is crucial, yet challenges such as time constraints, a dense curriculum, and insufficient support hinder the integration of critical thinking. This study aims to analyze the presence of critical thinking indicators in grade XI Biology teaching module on cell material across high schools in the Surakarta Residency. A descriptive qualitative method was used in this study. Data were collected from five teaching modules each provided by selected biology teachers from public, private and Muhammadiyah high schools, using documentation and interviews. Result show that the most frequency appearing critical thinking indicator was "providing simple explanations" (64.28%) at Muhammadiyah schools, while the least frequent was "strategies and tactics" (3.57%). These findings offer valuable insights for biology teachers in improving their instructional design to better foster critical thinking.
