Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that 1) Remap-TmPS can enhance students' critical thinking skills, 2) the difference of high and low academic ability affects the students' critical thinking skills and 3) there is no interaction between Remap-TmPS learning model towards students' different level of academic ability. The research findings also showed that Remap-TmPS can increase the low-ability students' critical thinking skills to the same level of critical thinking skills possessed by the high-ability students taught with the conventional learning. In biology classrooms, Remap-TmPS can be considered as one of the alternatives to improve students' critical thinking skills despite their distinguished academic abilities. Remap-TmPS learning can also be used to improve the low-ability students' critical thinking skills and make them similar to the level of the critical thinking skills possessed by the high achievers.
The suggestions for the further researcher, Remap-TmPS learning model can be implemented as an alternative learning activity to empower students' critical thinking, especially for the students who have the low academic ability so that they will have critical thinking skills which are equal or higher than those who have the high academic ability. However, this learning model takes time since the syntax is pretty long. So, it requires a good plan before implementing to make learning activity efficient and not to take more times.
