Metacognitive Approach in Math Learning

The document is an abstract for a thesis that studied the application of metacognition in mathematical learning to enhance critical thinking skills of junior high school students in Bandung, Indonesia. The study aimed to determine if a metacognitive approach improved students' critical thinking skills in mathematics better than a conventional approach, and to determine if students had a positive attitude towards the metacognitive approach. The experimental study found that the metacognitive approach led to better critical thinking skills in mathematics compared to the conventional approach, and students reported having a positive attitude towards the metacognitive learning approach.

ABSTRACT

Euis Ayisari (125050088). “Application of Metacognition in Learning


Mathematical Approach to Enhance Critical Thinking Skills Mathematical
Junior High School Students”. Thesis Mathematics Education Faculty of
Teaching and Education University of Pasundan, 2016

Mathematically critical thinking skills of students is one of the student's ability to


be developed during and after the learning process. This is because through
critical thinking mathematical students may think reasonable (reasonably), deep
(reflective), accountable, and intelligent thinking (skillful thinking) that is
focused on the conclusion whether the thought was credible or workable. One to
improve students' critical thinking skills is to approach mathematical
metacognitive. This study aims to determine the critical thinking skills students
gain mathematical learning metacognitive approach is better than getting
conventional learning and to determine the students' positive attitude towards
learning approaches in mathematics learning metacognitive. This study used an
experimental method. The study population was all students of class VII Junior
High School 36 Bandung and samples taken as many as two classes of class VII
G and VII H. Critical thinking skills mathematical indicators used in this study:
1). Give a simple explanation (focusing questions), 2). Build basic skills
(considering credibility), 3). Make a conclusion (to do and consider the value of
the decision), 4). Make further clarification (to identify and consider the
definition of the term), 5). Set the strategy and tactics (formulate an action).
Instruments used in this research is to test students' critical thinking skills
mathematical and questionnaire scale of students' attitudes to learning using a
metacognitive approach. Based on the analysis of research data using SPSS
version 23.0 for Windows, that the critical thinking skills students use
mathematical metacognitive approach is better than students who use
conventional learning. based on a questionnaire given to the experimental class,
the students obtained information that a positive attitude towards learning with
metacognitive approach. Therefore, learning to use the metacognitive approach
can be an alternative in implementing the learning of mathematics.

Keywords: Metacognitive approach, Critical Thinking Mathematically
