Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the metacognitive skills of elementary school students with reflective and impulsive cognitive styles in solving mathematical problems. This study employs a qualitative approach with an exploratory qualitative design. The research was conducted at SD Muhammadiyah 16 Karangasem, involving two fifth-grade students as subjects, each representing reflective and impulsive cognitive styles. The data collection techniques used in this study include the Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFFT), the Metacognitive Skills Test (MST), and interview guidelines. Data analysis was performed using the Miles and Huberman model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. To ensure data validity, a triangulation technique was applied by gathering the same data using different methods. The results indicate that reflective subjects demonstrated metacognitive activities encompassing planning, monitoring, and evaluating actions, as evidenced by fulfilling more indicators for each metacognitive activity. In contrast, impulsive subjects also engaged in metacognitive activities, including planning, monitoring, and evaluating, but many indicators for these activities were not met. Thus, it can be concluded that the metacognitive skills of reflective subjects are better than those of impulsive subjects.
