The relationship between habits of mind and metacognition in solving real analysis problems

Abstract

The habits of mind are often associated with metacognition because both are related to human thinking. Metacognition skills focus on how a person manages his thoughts, whereas habits of mind focus on one's ability to think and make conclusions about one's thoughts. The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between habits of mind and metacognition of students in solving real analysis problems. Sampling is done by purposively. The subjects in this study were students of Mathematics Education in Semester 5 Academic Year 2019/2020. This type of research is quantitative with data collection techniques using test and online surveys. The data obtained were analyzed by Correlation Analysis. The results of data analysis show the relationship between habits of mind and metacognition in solving mathematical problems is a very strong positive, for metacognition-problem solving and habits of mind-problem solving. Positive means the unidirectional relationship between habits of mind and metacognition, the purpose of unidirectional is the better the habits of the mind, the better the metacognition and vice versa. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between habits of mind and metacognition of students in solving mathematical problems.
