<![CDATA[ABSTRACTThe aim of research to examine the effect of CORE model assisted with mind mapping media on students’ critical thinking skill in productive accounting learning. This type of research is a quasi experimental with nonequivalent control group design. The population of this research is all of the students in Grade X of Financial Accounting and Institutions Program of Vocational High School. The samples in this study was the students in Grade X of Financial Accounting and Institutions Program 1 as experimental class and Grade X of Financial Accounting and Institutions Program 2 as control class using cluster random sampling technique. The data of the research were collected through test and observation. The data of the research were analyzed by using the independent sample T-test. The results of study concluded that CORE model assisted with mind mapping media has effected on students’ critical thinking skill in productive accounting learning. This is evidenced by the results of the Independent Sample T-Test that obtained t = 2,132 and and a significance level of 0.037.
