Abstract

This study aimed to find
out the critical thinking patterns of students in the argumentative essay, explain
and explore students’ arguments that contain critical elements. This study used
the content analysis method. Data was obtained from argumentative essays
written by first-year students of Brawijaya University who took Indonesian
Language courses. The total of data was 90 posts. Data collection was done by
assignments and interviews. Data was analyzed using data analysis procedures
from Cresswel. Three critical thinking patterns were found in the student's
essay, namely pattern I (Inference-Evaluation), and pattern II
(Analysis-Evaluation), pattern III (Interpretation-Evaluation). In pattern two,
there were four pattern variations while there was only one pattern in patterns
I and III. The results of this study indicated that students' critical thinking
patterns were oriented towards analytic thinking, namely analyzing various
phenomena by revealing evidence and reasons to draw logical conclusions. The
pattern found can be used as a reference for writing lecturers in developing
students' critical thinking skills in higher education
