Abstract
This is a correlational research related to the multiple correlation between metacognitive skills and creative thinking skills with students' cognitive learning results. This research aimed at investigating the contribution of metacognitive skills and creative thinking skills simultaneously on the cognitive learning results of 226 senior high school science students of Kupang, Indonesia. Metacognitive skills and creative thinking skills were measured integrated with cognitive test. The assessment of metacognitive skill, creative thinking skill, and cognitive learning results developed was validated before being used. The results of the research showed that metacognitive skills and creative thinking skill simultaneously had a high contribution on students’ cognitive learning results as much as 62.78%. Metacognitive skills had a higher contribution to cognitive learning results as much as 50.26%, while the contribution of creative thinking skill was 12.52%. Based on this result, teachers need to empower students' metacognitive skills and creative thinking skills in learning because both thinking skills are required in 21st century.
Highlights
Biology is one part of science that emphasizes directly on the realization of the scientific method through a series of scientific work and scientific values and attitudes
Based on the results of the data analysis, it can be stated that a positive correlation between metacognitive skills and creative thinking skills on learning outcomes indicates both types of thinking skills in this case are very important to be empowered to students
When students can control and regulate their thinking activities, the other thinking skills will go along, including the creative thinking skill. This statement is in line with Al-Hayat [26] who argueed that metacognitive skill was required to help people overcome their problems and it played an important role in creative thinking
Summary
Biology is one part of science that emphasizes directly on the realization of the scientific method through a series of scientific work and scientific values and attitudes. Students' thinking ability in learning in class needs to be cultivated and empowered. [2] revealed that thinking skills are a collection of skills that regulate a person's mental processes consisting of knowledge, disposition, cognitive operations and metacognitive. [3] added that thinking skills need to be developed in order to help students to process information, plan learning activities, monitor attention and maintain motivation for learning. Students' abilities to monitor, process and evaluate their learning activities are commonly known as metacognition. Metacognition can empower the students to become independent learners. To become independent learners required awareness to plan, control and evaluate their learning activities. [8,9] It is added that the application of metacognitive strategies in learning can improve learning outcomes, and creative thinking ability of low academic students Metacognition was an important element in the development of lifelong learning theory [6], important in learning and was a strong predictor of academic success [7]. [8,9] It is added that the application of metacognitive strategies in learning can improve learning outcomes, and creative thinking ability of low academic students
