The second treatment classes were XI IPA-1 and XI IPA-2, while the control class was XI IPA-3. The treatment classes were determined by using purposive sampling technique. This research samples for implementation of inquiry based learning toward critical thinking skills were XI IPA-2 and XI IPA-3, while the control class was XI IPA-1. This research was held for 3 months. The instrument to measure the cognitive product and cognitive process consisted of multiple-choice test and the critical thinking skills consisted of essay test. The data were analyzed by using anacova SAS release 9.1.3.
