Abstract

As one of science lessons, biology is expected to be a lesson that can develop students' critical thinking skills. This critical thinking ability is very important in connecting the facts that exist in the natural world, linking principles and theories, raising questions, analyzing other people's opinions, analyzing problems, and solving biological problems. In addition, cognitive style is one important aspect that needs to be considered.

The subjects were 19 students of SMP class VIII C SMP Negeri 1 Merakurak with reflective and impulsive cognitive style. Student cognitive style is measured by MFFT (Matching Familiar Figures Test) developed by Warli (2010).
