Analysis of students’ critical thinking skills with reflective and impulsive cognitive styles on conservation and environmental knowledge learning

From the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that the critical thinking skills of students with a reflective cognitive style are better than critical thinking skills in students with impulsive cognitive style in conservation and environmental knowledge learning. The students with reflective cognitive style have characteristics of taking a long time to answer the question carefully/meticulously so that the answers given tend to be correct, while the students who have the characteristics of impulsive cognitive style take a short time and answer the problem more carelessly, so that the answers tend to be incorrect.
