The Effect of Metacognitive Learning Strategies on Heuristic Ability in Mathematical Reasoning and Self Efficacy Reviewed from Students’ Initial Mathematical Abilities (original) (raw)

The use of Metacognitive Learning Strategies to help students understanding the way of learning, is an important thing that teachers need to pay attention to. This Research aims to examine differences between the Mathematical Heuristic Reasoning Ability and Mathematical Self Efficacy students who obtain the Metacognitive Learning Strategies and students who received conventional learning based on Initial Mathematical Ability (high, medium, low). This research is a quasi-experimental in the form of NonEquivalent Control Group Design on 66 students in a junior high school in Bandung. The statistical test this study was conducted on students initial mathematical ability data, pretest data, and posttest data through normality test, homogeneity test, t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test on the data of students' ability of Heuristic in Mathematical Reasoning and Mathematical Self Efficacy. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that there are significant differences in the abil...
