Abstract

This paper describes metacognitive failure based on the level of statistical reasoning level. This research is a qualitative study with a case study strategy. Research participants were 69 college students of Mathematics Education Program Study in East Java Indonesia, who had taken a descriptive statistics course. The results showed that metacognitive failure occurs at the transitional level and quantitative level. Metacognitive blindness occurs because students are not able to see the error in calculating statistical measures and errors in combining two statistical measures, while metacognitive mirage occurs because students ignore statistical measures previously thought. © 2020 IJSTR.
