Abstract

Mathematical critical thinking skills are essential abilities in mathematics learning, helping students identify, analyze, and solve problems effectively. This study aims to describe students' mathematical critical thinking skills on the topic of the Pythagorean Theorem in terms of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method, with the subjects consisting of six eighth-grade students from SMP Negeri 1 Kabila selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, tests, and interviews. The results showed that students with a visual learning style demonstrated the most optimal critical thinking skills, mastering all indicators, namely problem understanding, analysis, evaluation, and conclusion drawing. Auditory learners exhibited varying abilities, while kinesthetic learners experienced difficulties in the analysis aspect of complex problems.
