January 24, 2024 – Yusuf Amhar has developed an interactive gamification-based e-module titled “Tangkas Matematika.” This module was designed with a focus on the metacognitive process and aims to develop students’ metacognitive skills.
The e-module, created by a master’s student in Mathematics Education at Universitas Islam Malang has been disseminated and implemented at SD Muslim Cendekia Batu and SMP Raden Fatah Batu. This e-module, comprising 14 volumes, features progressive levels ranging from basic addition to advanced academic problems, incorporating engaging and simplified calculation techniques.
In an effort to enhance learning effectiveness, this module is equipped with supplementary videos aimed at providing in-depth visual explanations of mathematical concepts. These videos are designed to align with students’ comprehension levels and facilitate the practical application of mathematical concepts in daily life.
In the development of teaching media and materials, it is important to consider students’ metacognitive abilities. Metacognitive abilities are a crucial factor influencing their understanding during learning. Metacognitive abilities encompass the understanding and management of thinking processes, playing a central role in students’ intellectual development (thinking about thinking).
Students with strong metacognitive skills are able to monitor and regulate their understanding of learning materials, demonstrating self-awareness regarding effective learning strategies.

Metacognitive skills also help students evaluate the effectiveness of their learning strategies and make necessary adjustments. This is not only important for overcoming learning difficulties but also helps students manage their study time efficiently and develop targeted problem-solving strategies.
Therefore, efforts to develop students’ metacognitive skills through the “Tangkas Matematika” module are expected to become a crucial component of education, helping students achieve a deeper and more sustainable understanding of mathematics. (YA/AL/PPS)
