Teachers are less than optimal giving reinforcement to awaken the cognitive awareness of learners in physics learning. This study aims to determine the effect of learning with metacognitive approach through problem-based learning model (PBL) and reverse learning (RL) between learners who have high critical thinking ability and low critical thinking ability. This research method is an experimental research with 2x2x2 factorial design. The population of this study are students of class XI IPA SMAN 1 Sambungmacan and XI IPA SMAN 1 Gondang Sragen regency 2016/2017. Samples obtained by cluster random sampling technique obtained class XI IPA 1 SMAN 1 Sambungmacan and XI IPA 2 SMAN 1 Gondang. Data collection techniques used documentation techniques for initial skills, test techniques for cognitive learning outcomes as well as critical thinking skills and questionnaires and observation techniques for the learning outcomes of attitudes and skills. Analysis of the data using anava 2 road. The hypothesis of this research is: (1) There are differences in learning outcomes between learners who are given learning Physics model of PBL and reciprocal learning model. (2) There are differences in learning outcomes between learners who have high critical thinking skills and low critical thinking skills. (3) There is interaction between physics learning model of PBL and reciprocal learning with critical thinking ability of learners.
