Critical thinking ability is one of the learning objectives listed in the 2013 Curriculum. Critical thinking ability is also one of the 21st century skills. Good teaching materials facilitate teachers to carry out the main tasks of learning in the classroom and can enhance students' abilities. This study analyzes and designs Subject Specific Pedagogy (SSP), based on Guided Discovery Learning, allowing it to stimulate students' critical thinking skills. SSP development uses the ADDIE model. ADDIE has stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. This research limits the analysis and design stages. In the analysis phase, the researcher analyzes the problems in the field and the solutions used. The analysis was carried out to find out about the curriculum, teaching materials, and characteristics of students. In the design phase, researchers make a draft SSP. This research results that some of the teaching materials are not following student worksheets. Sometimes teaching materials and student worksheets are not supported by learning planning. SSP has not yet integrated certain learning models. Students' critical thinking skills will be owned by students when learning is used according to their characteristics. Learning media are needed to maximize learning. This study also resulted in an SSP design based on Guided Discovery Learning, to stimulate students' critical thinking skills. The design of the SSP can be used as a guide by teachers in developing the SSP. Further research can be carried out at the stages of development, implementation, and evaluation.
