The study of the mathematical problem solving and metacognition strategy on a paired Handep cooperative learning model

Abstract

Mathematics problem-solving skill is essential in mathematics learning. However, the difficulty to solve mathematics problem still occur. The model of learning created based on cooperation culture of Dayak tribe developed to facilitate the learning. The research aimed to create the draft of Handep cooperative learning model as single path prototype level, to evaluate the feasibility of model components and to assess the problem-solving and metacognition questioning strategy fulfillment, to obtain the model of mathematical problem solving and metacognition strategy based on the local wisdom. Research and development used were the Recursive, Reflective, Design, and Development-Dissemination (R2D2). The development focused on Handep cooperative learning model construction. The learning technology expert reviewed the feasibility of the model, and the mathematics-learning expert validated the fulfillment of problem-solving and metacognition questioning strategy. Instruments were included questionnaire and rubrics. The result of the paired Handep cooperative learning model and experts’ validation result concluded that learning technology experts agreed that the components of the model are feasible as a model of cooperative learning. The mathematics-learning experts found that the model has feasibility for mathematical problem-solving strategies. For advanced expert validation, it is recommended to assess the fulfillment of critical elements of the Handep cooperative learning model.
