Research tools 1) active learning model to enhance critical thinking 2) learning achievement test 3) questionnaire on students' opinions towards the active learning model. Statistics used were averages, standard deviation and the quality of the tools were the validity index of the learning achievement test to the questions to measure learning achievement, item discrimination and reliability index of the learning achievement test and an independent t-test (Paired sample t-test The research results were 1) the learning achievement of the active learning model to enhance critical thinking skill of students for 21st century. 2) comparative analysis of learning performance before and after learning using dependent samples t-test, where samples were dependent. The statistic was set at the .05 significance level. The average results of satisfaction assessments were at a high level of before learning (average result = 3.32, S.D = 0.85) and the average results of satisfaction assessments were at a high level of after learning (average result = 3.68, S.D = 0.89) the results of dependent samples t-test, t=25.78. 3) the study of the level of opinions toward the active learning model to enhance critical thinking skill of students in the 21st century had a mean of 3.97 and a standard deviation of 0.85. at a high level.
