The correlation between metacognitive skills and scientific attitudes towards the retention of male and female students in South Sulawesi, Indonesia

“…The rubric included eight measures (0-7), which were used to evaluate students' responses to each test item. According to Green [49], the levels of metacognitive skills are as: "super (85-100), ok (68-84), development (51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63)(64)(65)(66)(67), cannot really (34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50), risk (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)…”

“…In addition to metacognitive skills, scientific attitude is also a factor contributing to retention. Scientific attitude is defined as a tendency, readiness, honesty, curiosity, willingness to give responses/actions/behavior in science that has been proven true [20], [21]. Also, scientific attitude is one-way used by researchers to be considered in making decisions or taking actions [22].…”
