This study examines the influence of the Problem Posing learning model and students' attitudes towards mathematics on the critical thinking skills of grade VIII students of SMPN 6 Percut Sei Tuan. Using a quasi-experimental approach with two groups, the experimental group taught using the Problem Posing model and the control group taught using regular learning, this study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Problem Posing in developing critical thinking skills. Data was collected through critical thinking skills tests (pretest and posttest) and mathematical attitude questionnaires during the odd semester of the 2024/2025 school year. The results of the two-track ANOVA analysis with a significance level of 0.05 showed that the Problem Posing learning model had a significant influence on students' critical thinking skills (F=28.789; sig.=0.0000.05), which indicates that these two variables contribute to influence independently without moderation effects. These findings suggest that the Problem Posing model can effectively improve students' critical thinking skills regardless of their attitude towards mathematics, while a positive attitude towards mathematics in general contributes to better critical thinking skills.
