Abstract
Critical thinking skills are important in physics learning because in physics learning comparable with examination actions on focuses reaching since detecting, formulating complications, collecting data, processing and considering data, and finishing. This study purposes on promoting of the ICARE model to improve students^ critical thinking skills on physics concepts using Rasch Analysis. The research method used a pre-experimental method with one group pretest-posttest design for 21 eleventh grade students (10 males and 11 females) and using Rasch analysis to measure the person reliability. Data were collected by pretest and posttest to measure of the ICARE model and person reliability on students^ critical thinking skills. The results showed that ICARE model persuaded critical thinking skills by the average score of 0.62, categorized as medium. It can be concluded that the ICARE model as one of the learning models that can influence and enhance students^ critical thinking skills.
