| Popis: | The use of mathematics teaching aids in elementary school is useful not only for the acquisition of knowledge, but also for the formation of student awareness of his ability and the arrangement of his thinking in solving problems. This relates to the students' awareness of their ability to develop various possible ways in solving problems. The process of realizing and organizing of one own thinking is known as metacognition. The involvement of metacognition in learning provides great benefits to students in particular to strong mastery of the subject matter. The methods used in the study are: implementation of learning using mathematical teaching aids by applying metacognitive strategies, observations, tests, and interviews. The results showed that: (1) the utilization of teaching aids in learning mathematics provides excellent opportunities for planting understanding of the concept to the students based on their awareness about why and how a concept built and then can use the awareness to solve problems (known as metacognition), (2) train metacognition skills for elementary school students will be very good when done in learning mathematics by using teaching aids. Based on these reasons, it is important for teachers to train metacognition ability especially in solving mathematics problems for elementary schools students. |
