This is a quantitative approach with a descriptive method.The research population were the eighth students of junior high school in Palangkaraya, totaling 35 students. The research instrument used 8 questions for critical thinking skill and 8 questions for collaboration skill. The collected data analyzed using the descriptive analysis. The results of the analysis show that the critical thinking and collaboration of the students are in the middle criteria.
