A Critical Thinking Profile of Mathematics Education Students in Solving Ill-Structured Problem based on Mathematical Ability

This study aims to describe the critical thinking profile of mathematics education students in solving ill-structured problems based on mathematical ability. The described problem consists several stages, namely (1) Analyze; (2) Browse; (3) Create; (4) Decision-making; (5) Evaluate; and (6) List or with term A-B-C-D-E plus L skills, Interpretation; Analysis; Conclusion; Evaluation; Explanation; Self-regulation. subjects this consisted one student who had high ability moderate They were interviewed results Ill-Structured problem-solving. research used a descriptive qualitative approach. data obtained validated, then analyzed steps, namely: reduction, presentation, categorization, interpretation, inference. showed that carried out processes through six Analyze, Browse, Create, Decision-making, Evaluate, L, those which refer stages including Interpretation, Analysis, Conclusions, Evaluation, Explanation,
