Abstract

The purpose of this investigation is to ascertain the level of analytical reasoning abilities possessed by students in the context of the resolution of mathematical problems involving reasonable inequalities involving a single variable. This study is a qualitative investigation on descriptive issues. Students from class X IPS 1 at SMA Santo Fransiskus Asisi Pontianak volunteered to participate in the study as research subjects. A test of one's ability to think critically is included in the data gathering instrument. The analysis of the data began with a categorization of each piece of information according to the amount of critical thinking it required, as determined by Ferret's critical thinking markers. According to the findings of a study that involved 29 students, the majority of students in class X IPS 1 SMA Santo Fransiskus Asisi Pontianak are at level 1 in terms of their critical thinking. The study found that 28 students, or 96 percent, thought uncritically, while only one student, or 1 percent, thought critically enough. These findings led the researchers to draw the conclusion that the majority of students in this class are at level 1. (not critical).
