Developing a problem-solving skill for important things which need to be paid attention is how the students' thinking process in solving a problem is. Thinking about what is thought in this term relates to students' awareness of their ability to develop various ways which may be taken in solving a problem is known as metacognition. The existence of metacognition is very important for students in solving mathematical problems. This is a qualitative study using the grade VII students having medium ability as the subjects. The results of the study obtained that through intervention conducted by the researchers in 5 meetings, metacognition capability emerged in the subjects so that with their own ability they are able to solve mathematical problems provided.
Metacognitive Strategies: Instructional Approaches in Teaching and Learning of Basic Calculus
The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the metacognitive strategies as instructional approaches in teaching and learning of Basic Calculus. A number of 48 students consisting of 24 boys and 24 girls were purposively sampled in this study. Pretest-posttest quasi experimental research design was used which applied t-test and descriptive statistics. Both groups were subject to two instruments that were comprised of problem-solving test (pretest and posttest) and observation guide. Experimental group was taught Basic Calculus using metacognitive strategies while the control group was taught Basic Calculus using traditional teaching strategies. Both groups were subject to a pretest. Class observation was done while the two teaching strategies were applied. In the end, the posttest was administered to both groups to identify the effectiveness of the two teaching strategies. The data gathered were treated using paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. The results of the study showed that the experimental group had significantly higher posttest scores as compared to control group which proved that metacognitive teaching strategies were more effective in improving the performance and problem-solving skills of the students than the traditional teaching strategies. It was also observed that students who taught using metacognitive strategies helped the students to be extremely engaged in Basic Calculus lessons cognitively, behaviorally, and affectively. The study reveals that the significant increase of the students' learning engagement in Basic Calculus lessons led the students to a corresponding increase in their posttest scores.
The development of students’ metacognition in mathematical problem-solving

Every student has different thinking abilities, such as thinking activities to receive and process information. The students' thinking ability is cognitive thinking ability or known as metacognition, such as monitoring and controlling each stage conducted. Therefore, teachers need to make efforts to improve students' metacognition by using probing prompting learning techniques. This technique can encourage students' metacognition abilities in solving mathematical problems. This study aims to determine the development of students' metacognition in mathematical problem-solving. This classroom action research applied a qualitative descriptive method which was carried out in five cycles, involving four out of 22 Year 7 students in one of the islamic junior high schools in Aceh Besar, Indonesia. Data analysis of students' metacognition development was investigated through metacognition question sheets which were carried out after solving mathematical problem solving problems. Students' and teacher's activities were investigated in each lesson. The results showed that the students' metacognition in mathematical problem-solving increased in Cycle I to V based on metacognition question sheets, students' activity sheets, and teacher's observation sheets in using probing prompting techniques. The development of students' metacognition can also be seen through other supporting aspects, such as students' activities and teacher's efforts in the learning, both increased in each cycle. The results also showed that students' metacognition increased with the increase in student activities and teacher teaching abilities.

Metacognitive awareness: how it affects mathematical problem-solving process
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2019
Problem-solving is one of the basic skills in learning mathematics where in the process needs awareness in every step. Metacognitive awareness means to be aware of how to think. This study aimed to know the effect of metacognitive awareness in the mathematical problem-solving process. This is a descriptive-qualitative study. The samples of this study are 10 students. Data of metacognitive awareness were collected using questionnaire adapted from Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) developed by Schraw and Dennison, data about mathematical problem-solving process were based on the test result. The MAI measures two components which include the knowledge about cognition and the regulation of cognition. The results indicate that the two components of metacognitive awareness, that is knowledge about cognition and regulation of cognition gave the effect to mathematical problem-solving students especially for regulation of cognition. The Student with high levels of regulation of cogniti...

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between the metacognitive awareness of university students and their solutions to the similar mathematical problem types. Participants were 97 freshmen from department of mathematics at a state university in Turkey. Two different scales were used for data collection: “Metacognitive Awareness Inventory” and “Mathematical Problem Types Test’’. The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between the students’ metacognitive awareness levels and their problem solving levels regarding routine and non-routine problems. There was no significant linear correlation between university students’ metacognitive awareness levels and their problem solving levels for “separation”, “combining”, and “multiplication” in routine problems. Multiple regression analysis was used to test if the metacognitive awareness significantly predicted participants’ levels of problem solving. The results of the regression indicated that metacognitive awareness significantly predicted problem solving levels and both predictors explained 45% of the total variance.

Metacognitive activity is very important in mathematical problems solving. Metacognitive activity consists of metacognitive awareness, metacognitive evaluation and metacognitive regulation. This study aimed to reveal the errors of metacognitive evaluation in students' metacognitive failure in solving mathematical problems. 20 students taken as research subjects were grouped into three groups: the first group was students who experienced one metacognitive failure, the second group was students who experienced two metacognitive failures and the third group was students who experienced three metacognitive failures. One person was taken from each group as the reasearch subject. The research data was collected from worksheets done using think aload then followed by interviewing the research subjects based on the results' of subject work. The findings in this study were students who experienced metacognitive failure in solving mathematical problems tends to miscalculate metacognitive evaluation in considering the effectiveness and limitations of their thinking and the effectiveness of their chosen strategy of completion.
