Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of critical thinking tendencies (CTT) for primary school teacher candidates. This research is a descriptive study with a total of 118 research subjects at Primary School Education Program at the faculty of teacher training and education Universitas Mataram which were randomly selected. CTT data were collected through a modified CCT instrument consisting of seven indicators, namely the inquisitiveness, the open-mindedness, the system, the analysis, the truth-seeking, self-confidence, and the maturity of judgment. Data were analyzed descriptively and the results showed that the average score of CCT level of the student was in the positive category. Furthermore, based on each indicator, it is found that from the seven indicators, the maturity of judgment indicator is at the ambivalent level, while the other indicators are in the positive category. Thus, it can be concluded that the level of critical thinking tendencies of prospective primary school teacher candidates is in the positive category.
