📄 Abstract

This study employed a quantitative research design using descriptive and correlational approaches to determine the influence of metacognitive skills on problem-solving skills in Mathematics. Two hundred fifty-six respondents were gathered from five large public schools of Cluster 6, Division of Davao City. The study used an adopted metacognitive skills questionnaire and a researcher-made problem-solving test. Mean, spearman rho, and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. A significant positive relationship was found between metacognitive skills and problem-solving skills, indicating that students with higher metacognitive skills tend to demonstrate better performance in solving mathematical problems. Furthermore, inferential analysis revealed that metacognitive skills significantly influence students’ problem-solving performance in Mathematics. Based on the findings of the study, an intervention plan was proposed to enhance students’ metacognitive skills through targeted learning strategies and problem-solving activities aimed at improving mathematical performance.
