This document discusses a study on critical thinking skills in mathematics and differences in student learning styles. The study used a validated learning styles questionnaire and critical thinking skills test in mathematics to assess 251 students. The results found most students had an auditory learning style, while some had kinesthetic or visual styles. Students with auditory learning styles had significantly different critical thinking ability in mathematics compared to those with kinesthetic styles. But there was no significant difference when comparing auditory to visual styles, or visual to kinesthetic styles.

- M. Khifzi Khatami CAA 117 054 KEYWORDS CriticalThinking Ability Mathematics, Learning Styles The background of this study is to look at the importance of critical mathematical thinking skills and there are differences in the way students obtain and absorb information. There are students who easily understand the information while learning the group there are also students who easily understand the information with described and there are students who easily understand the information if learning to use props. How to acquire, absorb, and process this information is called learning style. The instrument used in this study is a learning style questionnaire validated by two experts from the Counseling Guidance Study Program and critical thinking skills test in the form of mathematical problems validated by two lecturers from Mathematics Education Program and one mathematics teacher at SMP Negeri 6 Palangka Raya. Based on the results of research from 251 students obtained many students who have auditory learning style as much as 109 students, kinesthetic36 students, and visual 106 students. Students with auditorylearning styles that have a level of critical mathematical thinking ability Further test results state that the critical thinking ability of mathematics with auditoryand kinesthetic learning styles is significantly different. Mathematical critical thinking skills with auditoryand visual learning styles are not significantly different. Mathematical critical thinking skills with visual and kinesthetic learning styles are not significantly different THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION
