The critical thinking ability is the ability to learn and analyze information through skills: interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation and self-regulation. Inquiry based active learning model (ABI) is a learning model that accumulates active and inquiry learning which aims to develop students critical thinking ability throught phases : 1) introduction and establishing sets; 2) presenting cognitive conflicts; 3) submitting the hypothesis; 4) collecting data (experiment) for hypothesis testing; 5) formulate explanations and/or conclusions; 6) reflection. This research  aims to determine the effect of inquiry based active learning model (ABI) on students critical thinking ability. This research is a quantitative research (quasi-experiments), this experimental research uses pretest-posttest control group design. This research is uses claster random sampling. The sample in this research amounted to 37 students as experimental class and 34 students as control class. Inferential analysis is used to test influence of inquiry based active learning model (ABI) in review of improvemen of students critical thinking ability. Hypothesis test results also show t-test value lower than t-table value, so it can be stated that the Inquiry Based Aktive Learning Model (ABI) has an positive effect on critical thingking ability of X-GEO at SMKN 3 Mataram school year 2017/2018.
