The Effectiveness of Materials Based on Metacognitive Skills

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of teaching materials based on metacognitive skills in learning mathematics. The research variable is the result of learning by treatment of applying learning materials based on metacognitive skills. The study population was all class XI student of SMAN 2 Parepare Academic Year 2016/2017. The sample selection was made randomly. Research data were analysed by descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis. The results showed the average score of learning result of experiment class of 83.67. The mean rating of control class learning outcomes of 77.58 from ideal score 100. In this study also found that in the experimental class, of 24 students obtained 21 or 87.5 % of students who have completed the study. In the control class from 24 students, 15 or 62.5 % of students who have finished the study. The learning activity of the experimental class is more active than the control class. Thus it is concluded that teaching materials based on metacognitive skills are effectively applied in mathematics learning.
