The research instrument used was CTDSRF to assess critical thinking skills and observation sheets. This studywas an experimental research with Post-test Only Control Design. The data obtained were analyzed using the Independent Sample T-Test.. Based on the results of the Independent Samples T-Test, it was found that the t value was 2.852 and the probability value (Sig.) was 0.005, so H0 was rejected. Thus, it can be concluded that there are differences in the effectiveness of the jigsaw type cooperative learning model and conventional learning models towards students' critical thinking skills.
