Abstract
Critical thinking is a part of the 21th century necessary skills trained to future teachers. Research-based learning (RBL) presents as an alternative learning model that can develop the critical thinking skills. This study aims at describing the effect of the implementation of the research-based Learning (RBL) to develop future teachers’ critical thinking skills. Qualitative approach was used in this classroom research. The participants in this study consisted of 106 future teachers. Data were collected using observation and test. The results of the research indicate that the implementation research-based learning (RBL) can develop critical thinking skills. It is proved by the fact that the students were able to show their interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference and explanation abilities. Meanwhile, aspect of self- regulation ability has not yet been able to be found. This research were used to make more sure previous research that implementation of the RBL can improve the quality learning process and make positive changes for the students in the intellectual and emotional. This research provides a different learning experience which can develop critical thinking skill.

Summary
Educational Institution for Education Workforce (Lembaga Pendidikan Tenaga Kependidikan, or LPTK) should be able to provide qualified teachers in ccordance with the 21st century demands. [1] In addition, other skills required to be improved in education to cope with the 21st century challenge involve work ethic, collaboration, good communication, social responsibility, critical thinking and problem solving. [2] To create human resources with critical thinking, problem solving, communication skills and technology literacy requires adequate education and learning through the 21st century education. [6] Learners are expected to have communication skills, competent technique and analysis to adapt, collaborative work, competition In reference to such explanation, it follows that RBL is alearning model which integrates research in learning process to construct knowledge by formulating hypotheses, collecting data, analyzing making conclusion, and writing a report. The RBL model gives university students opportunities to learn and construct knowledge from such research procedures as finding information, formulating hypotheses, collecting data, analyzing, making conclusion, and writing a report. The procedures of RBL in a learning: (1) formulating a general question; (2) overview of research-literature; (3) defining the question; (4) planning research activities, clarifying methods/ methodologies; (5) undertaking investigation, analyzing data; (6) interpretation and consideration of results; (7) report and presentation of results.
