Abstract

This research is descriptive qualitative research that aims to describe the metacognition of senior high school students in solving mathematical problems regarding students’ academic abilities. The subjects were students in the eleventh-grade students selected based on certain criteria with snowball sampling technique at a Senior High School. The data were collected through a problem-solving test and interview. The research result showed that students with high and low academical abilities had an awareness of the facts they had and how to use a strategy. While only high-ability students had an awareness of when and why a strategy should be applied. It implies that in solving mathematical problems, students with high academic ability involve three aspects of metacognitive knowledge, namely, declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge, and conditional knowledge nicely, while students with low academical ability only involve two aspects of metacognitive knowledge, namely, declarative knowledge and procedural knowledge.
