Abstract

Student’s critical thinking ability can be improved through a good learning process. For that, the learning process should be packaged in such a way that students are actively involved in the classroom. The effort to obtain these results is to improve the quality of learning through the use of good teaching materials. Learning to teach is a process that not only get information from lecturers but many activities and actions that should be done, in achieving better learning outcomes for students. For example from the provision of tasks that stimulate students to think critically, provided with methods and learning models in learning. The learning process is essentially a teaching-learning process that emphasizes the importance of learning through experience processes to gain experience. This approach has a very important role in determining the success or failure of the desired study. Critical thinking is a fundamental ability developed by lecturers in learning because today the ability to think critically is very important in everyday life. A lot of phenomena in everyday life are needed to be criticized, especially by students as the younger generation of the nation. For that, it needs to be trained by lecturers in the learning process through the development of teaching materials that support the achievement of improving students’ critical thinking skills in lectures and applied in the community
