ABSTRACTCritical thinking skills and writing habits must continue to be taught in each learning activity to maximize the abilities or competencies of students. This reading habit is also very necessary to add students' insights and knowledge before writing scientific papers. With these two components, it can be the first step towards making a good scientific paper. so the purpose of this study was to determine the direct effect of critical thinking skills and reading habits on student writing skills. The research method in this study is a qualitative description of the research method by providing an explanation in the form of a description based on data from various scientific references. With this method the researcher can explain in detail and be arranged how the influence of reading habits and the ability to think critically on the ability to write scientific works of students. Based on data and scientific references collected, analyzed, and studied, the following results were obtained: (1) students 'scientific scientific skills were positively influenced by the level of students' reading habits; (2) the ability to think critically has a direct positive effect on students' scientific writing skills. Thus, the better or higher the interest in reading students and their critical thinking skills, the better the ability to write scientific papers. From the results of this study it can also be seen that the habits of reading and the ability to think critically students are interconnected and have a major influence on the skills of writing scientific papers.Keywords: Reading Habits, Thinking, Critical, Scientific Work,ABSTRAKKemampuan berfikir kfritis dan kebiasaan menulis harus terus diajarkan pada setiap kegiatan pembelajaran untuk memaksimalkan kemampuan atau kompetensi yang dimiliki mahasiwa.

This research was conducted to investigate the relationship between two variables:  critical thinking skills and argumentative writing skills in Moroccan Preparatory Classes of Higher Engineering Schools (Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Ecoles) ( CPGE), Omar Ibn Khattab Meknes . The participants were the 2nd year Maths and Physics (MP) students in CPGE, Omar Ibn Al Khattab Meknes. 60 students participated in the study from a total number of 120 students. The research adopted the correlation design to measure the degree of association between two variables using the statistical procedure of correlation analysis. In this regard, a critical thinking test (AssessmentDay Practice Test Experts, 2018) was administered to test  students’ critical thinking skills. Then, the students were asked to write an argumentative essay about social networking and creativity. To analyse the collected data, the study resorted to SPSS software (Statistical Package for the Social Science, version 23). Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to investigate the significant relationship between critical thinking skills and argumentative writing. The result of the research displayed that the correlation coefficient is 0. 941, which means that the two tests are positively correlated and the correlation is very significant. The result of such correlation displayed clearly that critical thinking and argumentative writing have a positive relation.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the 6+1 trait writing model on ESP university students' critical thinking and writing achievement. It was assumed that students who receive training using the 6+1 trait writing model would reveal greater gains in critical thinking and writing achievement. Six instruments -designed by the researchers- included: (critical thinking skills checklist, writing skills checklist, critical thinking skills test, writing skills test and scoring rubric for critical thinking and analytic scoring rubric for writing) were used for data collection. Results revealed that the traditional method used to teach writing is not as effective as the 6+1 trait writing model that developed critical thinking and writing achievement. The experimental group outdid their counterparts in the control group in critical thinking and writing performance test scores.

This research is motivated by the competence of teachers in preparing poor learning outcomes tests and has not been able to measure high-level thinking skills, especially critical thinking skills. Therefore the researcher seeks to improve teacher competence in compiling tests on student learning outcomes based on critical thinking skills through academic supervision. This study uses a school action research design that has stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. This research was conducted for 2 months starting April 9 to May 17, 2019 for Physics teachers in the 7 target schools. Data is sourced from interviews with teachers and test documents prepared by the teacher. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis through the stages of data collection, data simplification, data presentation, conclusion drawing. Data were analyzed using assessment rubrics adjusted to indicators of critical thinking skills. The results of this study conclude that teacher competence in preparing tests of learning outcomes based on critical thinking skills has increased from the first cycle with a percentage of 61% with sufficient categories to 76% with good categories in cycle II.
