Abstract
Education is expected to be a solution to issues in human resource development. A number of initiatives have been made to overcome educational problems ranging from improving the curriculum, developing and increasing the quality of teachers, developing student abilities, and other efforts related to improving the quality of education. Based on the preliminary observation, students’ critical thinking skills were considered low and a confirmatory study related to building critical thinking skills is necessary. This study analyzed critical thinking skills that are built based on perceptions of mobile media, self-directed learning, and digital literacy. The research method used was a quantitative approach by using a questionnaire instrument.. Data analysis included analyses of prerequisite tests including validity and reliability tests. The data were analyzed using the structural equation model (SEM) analysis. The results showed that 1) there was a positive and significant effect on the variable of perceptions on online learning media on self-directed learning and digital literacy, 2) there was a positive and significant effect on the variable of self-directed learning on critical thinking skills 3) there was a positive and significant effect on the variable of digital literacy on critical thinking skills 4) the variable of the perceptions on mobile-based learning media had a positive and significant effect on critical thinking skills through the mediation of self-directed learning and digital literacy.

Education is an essential aspect of a country’s development, which functions as a mechanism of the system to educate the nation’s generation
Based on the latest report of Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) involving 78 countries, the reading and mathematics score of Indonesian students was ranked 72, while the science score was ranked 70 [38]. These results suggested that there is a problem with the quality of education, which has a direct effect on scholarly output in the form of human resources
Out of 20 students, two students or 10% were in very good criteria; 5 students or 25% were in the good criteria; 5 students or 25% were in the moderate criteria, and eight students or 40% were in the poor criteria. These results indicate that most students who enroll in record management have not formed critical thinking skills
Summary
Education is an essential aspect of a country’s development, which functions as a mechanism of the system to educate the nation’s generation It becomes a benchmark in assessing the progress of a country, which is applied to Indonesia. Based on the latest report of PISA involving 78 countries, the reading and mathematics score of Indonesian students was ranked 72, while the science score was ranked 70 [38] These results suggested that there is a problem with the quality of education, which has a direct effect on scholarly output in the form of human resources. Several factors related to and affect the ability to think critically include learning media, self-directed learning, and digital literacy The relationship of these three factors with critical thinking skills forms a new design in the framework of mobile-based media knowledge. This study seeks to confirm the relationship between these variables and determine the form of the relationship and the significance of the new design in mobile-based media knowledge
