Elaboration of High School Student’s Metacognition Awareness on Heat and Temperature Material: Wright Map in Rasch Model

Abstract

This study aims to elaborate on the interaction between students’ metacognitive awareness and the difficulty level of items in Heat and Temperature Metacognition Awareness Inventory (HeTMAI). This study uses a quantitative research method with the type of survey research. The respondents involved were 30 students and came from one the public high schools in eastern Indonesia. Metacognitive awareness was evaluated using the 26-item HeTMAI. Student responses are administered online, are voluntary and anonymous. The interaction between students’ metacognitive awareness and items in HeTMAI was analyzed using the Wright map based on the Rasch model. The analysis results show that the student’s average ability is 1.00 logit higher than the item difficulty level. The students’ abilities ranged from -1.34 to 5.98 logit, and the item difficulty level ranged from -0.51 to 0.70. In general, it appears that most students tend to agree more easily with the statements in HeTMAI.

Junior high school student perception of online learning in pandemic Covid-19: Gender, social media ownership, and internet access duration perspective

“…As for female students, only 17 out of 44 people (39%) have a more than 50% chance of agreeing to all the statements. This is because the logit is above the logit of all existing items [46]. Furthermore, we see, the K3 item "I study harder in online learning than when offline" has a more than 50% chance of being approved by 54% of men (23 of 43 students) and 46% of women (20 of 44 students) having a chance agree more than 50%.…”

“…At the same time, 23 out of 50 students (64%) with one social media account have a more than 50% chance of agreeing to all the statements given. Only a small percentage of students without social media has a more than 50% chance of agreeing to all statements [46]. More specifically, most students positively perceived the KS2 item "For me, sharing knowledge through online discussion is a good idea."…”

How is students’ mental model in the post-pandemic era? Work and Energy Concept Analysis using the Wright Map

“…In this study, students' mental models were analyzed using the Wright map. Wright map is an analysis of the Rasch model that used to analyze the interaction between item test and respondent (Hikmah et al, 2021). The results on the Wright Map can provide information on the distribution of students' abilities, information on the difficulty of test items, as well as the interaction between students' abilities and the level of difficulty of the questions (Dewi et al, 2021;Hikmah et al, 2021).…”

This study aims to obtain a picture of the mental model of students on the concept of work and energy which was analyzed using the Wright map.…”

The Indonesian Version of the Physics Metacognition Inventory: Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Rasch Model

“…Positive influence on metacognition also occurs in almost all fields of science, including physics. Metacognitive awareness has significantly improved students' academic achievement (Hikmah et al, 2021;Taasoobshirazi & Farley, 2013;Uopasai et al, 2018). Students who have high metacognitive awareness tend to be able to improve learning outcomes (Panggayuh, 2017), conceptual understanding (Çetin, 2017;Taasoobshirazi et al, 2015), academic motivation (Mirzaei et al, 2012), and problem-solving abilities (Akben, 2020;Şahin & Kendir, 2013;Tachie, 2019).…”
