Description:
Have been done study about using metacognitive skills in learning chemistry through problem
solving. Metacognition is the awareness of cognitive processes. By using metacognition, someone
does all the activities with full awareness. When students learning chemistry by involving their
metacognitive skills, students will be able to observe the relationship between data in the problem with
the prior knowledge, to re-examine its accuracy, as well as solving a complex problem with the simple
steps, tries to regulate and improve their cognitive processes. This paper aims are prepared in order to
build a mindset learning chemistry through problem solving that involve student’s metacognitive
skills. Metacognitive skills to form a competent student resources, who perform all acts by full
awareness. always make good representing problem, planning, monitoring, evaluating, and transfering
their action. The i-SMART model helps students to solve problems in a systematical way and supported
scaffolding metacognitive questioning. So, metacognitive support during the solution process in
problem solving chemistry more effective.
