Metacognitive Awareness and Its Effect on Students' Problem Solving Ability in Implementing RME Approach

This study aims to describe the metacognitive awareness of students who learn with the RME approach and those who learn with conventional approach; and describes the effect of metacognitive awareness on students' problem solving abilities in implementing RME approach. The subjects of this study were seventh grade students of SMP Negeri Kecamatan Luak Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota. The research data were obtained by using a Metacognitive Awareness Inventory Junior questionnaire (Jr-MAI) and a final test designed based on indicators of problem solving abilities. Data were analyzed inferentially by using covariant and simple linear regression analysis with SPSS program. The results showed that metacognitive awareness of students who learn with the RME approach is better than those who learn with conventional approach; and there is a positive effect between metacognitive awareness on students' problem solving abilities and the application of RME approach
