Abstract

Abstract Thinking skill based on SOLO (Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes) taxonomy and metacognitive are two variables on which many researches start to be conducted throughout the world and in Indonesia. That there is no investigation to study the contribution of metacognitive towards thinking skill base on SOLO taxonomy. This research aimed to examine the contribution of metacognitive toward students’ thinking skill based on SOLO taxonomy through inquiry-based learning implementation. This research was correlational research which connects an independent variable (Metacognitive) and a dependent variable (thinking skill). This research takes 104 students of XIMIA grade of SMA Negeri 01 Manokwari as its participants. The collected data were evaluated used rubric of metacognitive and thinking skill and analyzed by employing simple regression method. The results showed that P < 0.05, indicating that metacognitive contributes towards students’ thinking skill based on SOLO taxonomy for 51.5%. Based on findings related to student metacognitive, learning is more focused on teaching that can train students’ metacognitive by considering appropriate learning model, one of which is inquiry-based learning.
