Preliminary Study: Student Worksheet Based on Metacognitive Skills in Increasing Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills about Vibration and Waves a) Science Education, Indonesia University of Education, Jl. Dr. Setiabudhi No. 229, Bandung 40154, Indonesia Abstract Metacognitive skill is a high level of thinking or often known as thinking about thinking, which is closely related to critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This study aims to describe the importance of metacognitive skills in training critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This research used a survey method with a quantitative descriptive approach. The instrument used was a questionnaire distributed via Google Form. The sample of this study consisted of 10 science teachers who teach in class VIII. The results showed that 90% of teachers had not used metacognitive-based worksheets in science practicum activities about vibrations and waves even though all of them have known what metacognitive skills are, 90% had not had any reflection activities for students before, during, and after the experiment, 70% had never trained their students to determine the purpose of the vibration and wave material experiment, 70% of the student worksheets used by teachers do not include training to students such as describing problems, planning solutions, implementing plans, 60% of the worksheets used have not trained students to identify and analyze a problem related to experimental data related to the practicum to be carried out. It can be concluded that it is necessary to apply metacognitive-based student worksheets to train students to improve critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Keywords: metacognitive skill, critical thinking skills, and problem-solving skill. Topic: Physics Education |
