Summary:Critical thinking skills are beneficial and must be considered when learning where these skills are needed to prepare students for academic careers. However, students critical thinking skills are still relatively low. This study aims to determine students’ critical thinking skills in class XI IPS 4 SMA Pertiwi 1 Padang linear programming material for students with Field Independent (FI) and Field Dependent (FD) cognitive styles. This research is classified as qualitative research. The selection of samples or research subjects was selected using a purposive sampling technique. This study’s research subjects were taken in class XI IPS 4 SMA Pertiwi 1 Padang, totaling 26 students. Which then selected six students of class XI IPS 4 at SMA Pertiwi 1 Padang. These six students consist of three with FI cognitive style and three with FD cognitive style. The data were collected using observation methods, written tests, and interviews. Validation of the data used is the triangulation method, and data analysis is done by data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results showed 1. Students with FI cognitive style tends to be able to understand problems in linear programming, so students with FI cognitive style tend to be able to meet the indicators of critical thinking skills, namely interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and judgment. 2. Students with FD cognitive style have difficulty understanding the problems in the questions, so students with FD cognitive style are less able to meet the indicators of critical thinking skills.
