Abstract: Innovation learning is needed to improve students' critical thinking skills. In the 21st century, critical
thinking skills are one of the life skills that students must have to be ready to compete in the global
world. This study aims to explore the potential of implementing contextual teaching and learning
approaches to improve students' critical thinking skills. The result of the study showed that applying
the CTL approach to learning could improve students' critical thinking skills, characterized by

evaluate, and self-regulation. |
