The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the guided inquiry learning model on critical thinking skills and science learning outcomes in the experimental and control groups. The sample in this study consisted of 50 students. The data analysis technique used is descriptive statistical approach, N-Gain, and simple linear regression. The results showed that based on the data management hypothesis, it was obtained that there was an influence of the guided inquiry learning model on students' critical thinking skills.
