The instrument of the research was a critical thinking self-assessment questionnaire which has been measured its validity and reliability. The data obtained were then analyzed to calculate the mean, standard deviation, and t-test using SPSS. The findings showed that the mean score of critical thinking in the pre-test was 45.2381 and 78.0952 in the post-test. It meant that there was an improvement in the mean score before and after applying VLL Strategy. Next, The result of testing the hypothesis using a t-test was 38.548 with a level of significant .000.
