Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify students' metacognition knowledge based on VAK learning styles (visual, auditorial, and kinesthetic) in mathematical problem solving. The type of research used is qualitative research using descriptive qualitative research method. Research subjects are all students of class XI MIA SMA Negeri 2 Kota Jambi with the number of students 192 people. Of the total students of class XI MIA will be selected 3 people as informants. Methods of data collection in this study is a questionnaire learning style, mathematical problem solving, and interview guidelines. The required data is obtained through mathematical problem solving test and interview guidance validated by the validator. Questionnaire learning style used to find the subject to be identified has been validated by a team of experts who are in UPBK UNJA. Data analysis techniques used Milles and Huberman analysis which included (1) data reduction, (2) data presentation, and (3) verification and conclusion.
