A perspective of metacognition in solving math problems in Vietnam secondary schools

Journal Title: Annals. Computer Science Series - Year 2018, Vol 16, Issue 2

Abstract

In an effort to innovate teaching and learning process to prepare for a new generation for the demands of the new era, many educators have discovered the value of metacognition. Students will need both mathematical skills and problem-solving skills, therefore, teachers should focus on both math content and thinking processes in students’ math learning. This paper presents the importance of metacognition in solving mathematical problems. A project was conducted for students at the age of thirteen, and the findings suggest that students used four problem-solving steps highlighted by George Polya. However, students feel better when they adjust their thinking processes or use metacognitive skills in the process of solving math problems.
