Abstract
This study was conducted based on low metacognition ability and mathematical connection of students. The aim of this study was to determine: (1) there are differences the metacognition abilities of students used cooperative learning type TPS with PBL, (2) there are differences the mathematical connection abilities of students used cooperative learning type TPS with PBL, (3) the process of student answers by TPS is different with PBL. This study is a quasi experimental research. Descriptive analysis is intended to describe the students^ answers. Inferential analysis of data was done by ANACOVA. The results showed: (1) The ability of metacognition used TPS is different with PBL with F* = 6.127 is greater than Ftable = 4.05, (2) The ability of mathematical connection used TPS is different with PBL with to F* = 11.36 is greater than Ftable = 4.05, (3) The process of student answers by TPS is different with PBL.
