Model Eliciting Activities (MEA) Application in Online Group Discussion for Mathematics Learning

Metacognition is a person's awareness on their own thinking processes in mathematics. Awareness of thinking refers to the awareness of what they know and what they are going to do in learning of mathematics. Metacognition has two components, namely (1) knowledge of metacognitive and (2) metacognitive skills. Metacognitive knowledge related to declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge and conditional knowledge in mathematics. Meanwhile, the metacognitive skills associated with predicting skill, planning skill, monitoring skill, and evaluating skill in mathematics. This article concludes the mathematics teachers? perceptions and obstacles of modeling after experiencing three model-eliciting activities (MEAs, Lesh& Doerr, 2003) and designing model as a problem solving process to online group discussion, and implementing the MEAs in math classrooms.
