This research uses the Classroom Test of Scientific Reasoning (CTSR) developed by Lawson, the result of revision in 2000 which has been translated by Asnawi into Indonesian. The test has a reliability coefficient, calculated by the KR-20 formula, of 0.76. This instrument consists of 24 multiple-choice questions. The result of the research obtained is the profile of the level of scientific thinking ability of junior high school students is 89.24% of students at the concrete level, 8.97% of students at the Low Formal level, and 1.79% of students at the Upper Formal level.
