Learning Mathematics To Grow Metacognitive Ability In Understanding And Mathematic Problems Solving On Limit

Abstract

According to Collins (1994), metacognitive skills can be acquired piecemeal through teaching. One of learning model that students' metacognitive skills in understanding the material and problem solving is a learning mathematics to grow metacognitive ability. The Purpose of this study is describing application of this model that can enhance metacognitive ability in understanding material and problem solving of students on calculus I courses in material definitions and theorems of limits, where each lesson, students use brochure cognitive strategies, student book, student worksheets. This research is a class action research, from the result of research showed in an increase of 32.14% metacognitive ability of students in understanding and in an increase of 53.58% of students metacognitive skills in mathematic problem solving.
