Abstract

The objectives of study was to describe the metacognition of students in the mathematical communication process of high school students in learning mathematics oriented ethnomathematics Rejang Lebong. This research method is descriptive qualitative research, with the subject of the student of Class X IPA 2 SMA N 4 Rejang Lebong. The results showed that subjects with high cognitive level were able to think metacognitively with the mathematical communication process through planning, monitoring and evaluating the thinking process in the mathematical communication process. Subjects with cognitive level are doing mathematical communication in the form of planning, and monitoring but not exactly in evaluating the thinking process. While subjects with low cognitive level can make planning but can not monitor and can not evaluate the thinking process.
