Abstract

This study aims to analyze critical thinking skills in mathematics through a semiotic approach. Critical thinking abilities function on 4 indicators, namely: (1) interpretation, (2) analysis, (3) evaluation, and (4) inference. This type of research is descriptive research with qualitative approaches. The semiotics approach is divided into 3 components, namely: (1) signs, (2) words, and (3) symbols. The subject selection techniques were based on a purposive sampling technique, with a subject of 27 students of class XI IPA 4 SMA YPPK Agustinus, Sorong City, even semester of the 2022/2023 academic year. The data analysis techniques used are descriptive and qualitative. The instruments used are test instruments and interview instruments. The results showed that the average ability to think critically in mathematics through semiotic approaches was 44.4% (low). Analysis of critical thinking skills in categories namely: 1) high category 1 students (3.70%), 2) medium category 4 students (14.8%), 3) low category 12 students (44.4%), 4) low categories very low 10 students (37%). So it can be concluded that students’ critical thinking skills are still low in class XI IPA 4 SMA YPPK Agustinus, Sorong City.
