Porotype inventory of critical thinking of student was assessed (assessment phase) to determine the validity of final product of critical thinking inventory instrument of student that has produced. Instrument Assessment of assessment sheet critical thinking inventory instrument of student and critical thinking inventory instrument sheet of student was conducted by two experts and practitioner validators. The result of validity index (Gregory, 2008) assessment sheet of critical thinking inventory instrument of student is 0,95 (valid and all criteria are fulfilled). The average value of the validity of critical thinking inventory of expert validator is 4,81 with valid category and the average value of validity of student critical thinking inventory of practitioner validators is 4,67 with valid category. The average validity value of critical thinking inventory of student by expert validators and practitioner validators is 4,74 that classified as very valid categor
