The method used in this study is quantitative research. The subject involves 132 students at the 11th grade focusing on science and mathematics. Then, the independent t-test is utilized to analyze the data. The result indicated that the independent t-test obtained a significance value of 0.206 > 0.05, the mean of critical reasoning ability for female, 3.205, was greater than the male (3.085). However, it was considered insignificant as the gap was 1.120.
