Based on the results of processing and analysis, the following results are obtained. First, that the difference in social skills of students who use the Jigsaw type cooperative learning model in the class is higher than that of class students who use the lecture learning method in the class . Second, that the difference in critical thinking skills of students who use the Jigsaw type cooperative learning model in the class is higher than the students who use the lecture learning method in the class. Third, that the increase (N-Gain) of critical thinking skills of students who use the Jigsaw type cooperative learning model in the class is higher than that of class students who use the lecture learning method in the class.
