The ability to think critically is the ability to think reflectively and reason in decision making. This research is a qualitative descriptive research with the aim to describe students' ability in construct critical thinking. The subjects of the study were the students of class VIII A SMPN 1 Delanggu Klaten regency for the academic year 2016/2017 which amounted to 29 students. The critical thinking instrument developed from the critical thinking of Ennis (2011). The instrument consists of 15 descriptions of the ability to think which consists of 13 aspects. The question instrument used has been validated by an expert lecturer. The analysis is done on the student's answers and is categorized into four categories: True (true), Partially correct (C), Correct (partially incorrect), and Incorrect (S). The results showed that students' critical thinking ability was low. This proves that students' critical thinking skills still need to be trained further in order to be improved.
