Abstract

This study is a descriptive-correlational study. The objectives of this study are to determine: 1) the level of critical thinking skills among eighth-grade students at public junior high schools throughout the Panakkukang subdistrict; 2) the level of problem-solving skills among eighth-grade students at public junior high schools throughout the Panakkukang subdistrict; 3) whether there is a relationship between critical thinking skills and problem-solving skills among eighth-grade students at public junior high schools in the Panakkukang subdistrict. The population for this study consists of all eighth-grade students at public junior high schools in the Panakkukang subdistrict for the 2025/2026 school year, totaling 587 students. Sampling was conducted using simple random sampling, with a sample size of 168 students. The research instruments consisted of a critical thinking test comprising 15 questions and a problem-solving test comprising 15 questions. Data were collected by administering the tests in person. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. Based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that: 1) The level of critical thinking skills among eighth-grade students at public junior high schools in the Panakkukang subdistrict falls into the very low category, with a score of 49.96. 2) The problem-solving skills of eighth-grade students at public junior high schools in the Panakkukang subdistrict fall into the very low category, with a score of 46.43. 3) The critical thinking and problem-solving skills of eighth-grade students at public junior high schools throughout the Panakkukang subdistrict, with a correlation coefficient of 0.732, indicating a strong correlation.
