Effectiveness of the Metacognitive – Based Algebra Learning Model

Abstract

Learning approaches are among the critical factors that determine learning effectiveness. A typical learning approach that promotes student awareness will result in successful learning. This article examines the effectiveness of a metacognitive-based algebra learning from three aspects, namely: 1) learning outcomes; 2) student responses; and 3) student activities in learning algebra. The results show that all three aspects meet the effectiveness criteria of metacognitive approach in learning algebra.
