Abstract

This study investigates the correlation between critical thinking skills and student reading comprehension in high school. The research employs a quantitative method with a population comprising students from MA Pembangunan Al Fatah Kikil Arjosari. The sample consists of 44 eleventh-grade students. Instruments used to measure the variables include reading comprehension and critical thinking skills tests. The result showed that the Pearson correlation coefficient with Reading Comprehension for the variable Critical Thinking Skills is 0.068. This value indicates a very weak positive correlation between Critical Thinking Skills and Reading Comprehension. The significance level (p-value) for this correlation is 0.659, which is well above the commonly used threshold of 0.05 for statistical significance. This high p-value indicates that the correlation is not statistically significant, meaning there is no evidence of a meaningful linear relationship between Critical Thinking Skills and Reading Comprehension in this sample. For Reading Comprehension, the Pearson correlation coefficient with Critical Thinking Skills is also 0.068, reflecting the weak positive correlation. The p-value remains 0.659, reinforcing that the correlation is not statistically significant. Keywords: critical thinking, reading comprehension, education, high school, correlation study
