Abstract
This study aims to analyze the effect of applying metacognitive strategies on students^ mathematical problem-solving abilities. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The steps in SLR involve, 1) develop research question- 2) construct selection criteria- 3) develop search strategy- 4) select studies using selection criteria- 5) assess the quality of studies- 6) synthesis result of research question. The search for relevant articles was carried out on online publications such as ProQuest, Google Scholar, dan ScienceDirect published in the 2010-2021 period. The authors obtained 9 articles that were included in the criteria for determining the selection of relevant literature. The results showed that metacognitive strategies have a positive effect on mathematical problem-solving abilities. This is because, with metacognitive strategies in problem-solving, students are given processes and strategies that make mathematical problem-solving easy to learn and make them efficient and successful problem solvers. This study also found that the longer the duration in using metacognitive strategies by students, the better students in solving mathematical problems. This research will provide information to mathematics teachers, which indicates that teachers need to use the metacognitive strategy in learning to maximize students^ mathematical problem-solving abilities.
