Metacognition skills and higher order thinking skills (HOTS) in mathematics

Abstract

Based on the results of interviews with teachers and observations of mathematics students of class VIII at the school where the research is, the difficulty of students in learning material related to high-level thinking problems (HOTS) when receiving or understanding concepts given by the teacher. This study aims to find out how the influence of metacognition skills to the ability of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) MTs N 1 Kudus students and bias can be used as a trigger to increase Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) skills. Hypothesis testing uses simple linear regresi. The results of this study indicate that: 1) there is a positive and significant correlation to the Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) skills of 60.8%: 2) there is a positive and significant correlation to the Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) skills based on indicators of metacognition skills (awareness = 43.8%, regulation = 65.5%, and evaluation = 57.8%).
