Abstract: Critical thinking skills are among the key objectives of 21st-century education. This study conducted a content analysis of several articles published between 2016 and 2023, emphasizing the role of technology in improving mathematical critical thinking abilities. The findings reveal that from 2021 to 2022, the number of publications addressing mathematical critical thinking skills through technology increased. Among these publications, quantitative research with quasi-experimental designs was the most prevalent. Additionally, the 8th grade of junior high school and the topics of 'geometry and algebra' were the most frequently targeted subject and material. Similarly, Geogebra and discovery learning were the most widely used technologies and methods. The most commonly used instrument was tests, with t-tests being the primary data analysis method. Several recommendations are proposed for future research focusing on the development of mathematical critical thinking skills through technology.
