Comparison of Metacognition Awareness of Mathematics and Mathematics Education Students Based on the Ability of Mathematics

Abstract

Awareness of metacognition is one of mental process that occurs when a person knows what he thinks, including the knowledge and awareness to do something or realize the reason that. The purpose of this study is (1) to describe how the metacognition awareness of mathematics student and mathematics education student based on mathematical ability, and (2) to know the difference metacognitive awareness between of mathematics students with math education students based on mathematical ability. This research subject are the Department of Mathematics and Mathematics Education students of Halu Oleo University Kendari, Indonesia. This research is ex post facto by the data analysis using descriptive and inferential approach. Descriptive approach used to describe the level of metacognitive awareness of mathematics students and mathematics education students based on his mathematical abilities, whereas inferential approach used to see the difference in metacognition awareness of mathematics students and mathematics education students based math skills. The results of this study are: (1) the level of students metacognition awareness of Mathematics Department, generally located on level strategic use and level reflective use, while the level of students metacognition awareness of Education Mathematics Department, generally located on level aware use; (2) there is a significant difference between the awareness metacognition of math students with mathematics education student based on his mathematical abilities, and awareness metacognition of math student better than mathematics education students.

Comparison of Metacognition Profiles between Male and Female Mathematics Students in Interpreting of Definite Integral Concepts

“…The description above shows that the presentation of mathematical concepts by memorizing and remembering does not raise students' awareness to understand a concept. This is in line with the results of previous research in the Mathematics department of Halu Oleo University, that the level of students' metacognitive awareness at the reflective level was only 38.64% [6]. This illustrates that the metacognition ability of Mathematics Department Students in solving mathematical concepts is still low.…”

“…This illustrates that the metacognition ability of Mathematics Department Students in solving mathematical concepts is still low. In addition, when comparing the metacognition awareness of male and female students at a relatively different reflective level, male students only reached 35.29%, while female students only reached 40.74% [6].…”

The Effect of Cooperative Learning Type Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) on Understanding Mathematical Concepts in Class VIII Students of MTs N Pekanbaru

“…In an effort to achieve the goals of mathematics learning, the teacher as one of the factors that adequately determines the success of students, always strives to improve quality in carrying out the mathematics learning process, so that it can improve students' mathematics learning outcomes. Related to this, Nasution (2008: 115;Fitriana, 2019;Misu, 2019) states that in order to obtain satisfying learning outcomes, a teacher should strive so that students can be active in the learning process. A teacher is expected to act as a facilitator and motivator for students who are able to choose learning strategies that can activate students.…”

Aktivitas Metakognisi Mahasiswa dalam Pemecahan Masalah Program Linear (Studi Kasus Berdasarkan Perbedaan Gender)

“…Di sisi lain, Abu-Snoubar (2017) menemukan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara siswa laki-laki dan perempuan dalam hal strategi metakognitifnya. Penelitian lain (Misu & Masi, 2017) juga menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan signifikan antara mahasiswa laki-laki dan perempuan dalam kesadaran metakognitif pada matematika. Hasil yang tidak konsisten ini menunjukkan bahwa peran gender dalam aktivitas metakognisi masih butuh ditelaah lebih dalam.…”
