INCREASING THE MATHEMATICS OF STUDENTS MATHEMATICAL SKILLS THROUGH METAKOGNITIVE LEARNING MODEL

Sari

Mathematics is a basic science that has become a tool for learning other sciences. There-
fore, mastery of mathematics is absolutely necessary early on. One aspect that must be mastered
in
mathematics
is
the
ability
to
solve
problems.
Problem
solving
is
part
of
a
mathematics
curriculum
that
allows
students
to
gain
experience
and
use
the
knowledge
and
skills
they
already
have
to
apply
to
non-routine
problem
solving.
To
be
able
to
improve
mathematical
problem

solving skills, strategic efforts are needed. One effort that can be done is to apply a
metacognitive learning model. Metacognitive learning model is a model that gives students the
opportunity to carry out metacognitive activities, namely: planning, controlling and reflecting
all cognitive processes (thinking) that occur during solving a mathematical problem. When
students are given a mathematical problem, students will first change it into mathematical sentences.
Then
students
will
plan
their
solution
strategies.
In
this
stage,
students
will
look
for
data
relationships
with
those
asked.
After
the
plan
is
formed,
students
will
implement
the
plan.
The
last
stage
that
students
do
is
check
again.
In
this
case
the
student
does
not
just
stop
working
after
getting
results,
but
he
must
re-examine
what
he
has
done
before.
This
is
very
important
to
avoid
errors
or
errors
in
solving
these
mathematical
problems.
Thus,
students
indirectly
learn
to
be
more
responsible
with
what
they
have
done.
