EFECTIVENESS OF VIRUS MATERIAL TOPIC STUDENT WORKSHEET BASED ON KNOW-LEARNED (K-L) METACOGNITIVE STRATEGY TO TRAIN STUDENT METACOGNITIVE SKILLS

Abstract

Metacognitive skill is essential for students. One of learning materials which can train metacognitive skill
is  worksheet  based  on  metacognitive  strategy.  This  research  aimed  to  produce  an  effective  student
worksheet based on Know-Learned (K-L) strategy on virus material topic to train student’s metacognitive
skill.  This  research  which  had  been  held  in  Biology  Department,  FMIPA,  Unesa.  This  study  was  a
developmental  research  which  referred  to  3-D  model  namely  define,  design,  and  develop.  The  research
stage  started  with  define  stage  which  conducted  by  analyzing  curriculum  on  virus  material.  Then
continued  with  design  stage  which  conducted  by  designing  and  developing  student  worksheet.  Student
worksheet consists of know-learned phase, which equipped with self-confidence level column, comparing
concept  column,  and  score  column,  so  it  can  facilitate  students  to  practice  monitoring  and  evaluation
skills.  Then  at  the  develop  stage,  student  worksheet  implemented  limitedly  to  fifteen  10
th
grade  students
of  SMAN  4  Sidoarjo.  Finally,  the  effectiveness  of  student  worksheet  evaluated  based  on  student
metacognitive  skill,  completeness  of  indicators,  and  gain  score.  The  research  result  showed  that  the
student  worksheet  was  effective  with  the  student’s  metacognitive  score  of  3.93  (very  good  category)  and
positive  sensitivity  in  the  range  of  0.3-1.0.  In  addition,  student  worksheet  was  also  effective  to  gain
learning  outcomes  of  93.33%  students  with  the  high  criteria  and  6.67%  student  with  the  medium  criteria.
Therefore,  student  worksheet  based  on  K-L  metacognitive  strategy  was  effective  to  train  students
metacognitive skill and gain their learning outcomes at once on virus material.
