Abstract
Student learning achievement is one of the most crucial aspects of mathematics
education. Various factors have been found to influence this achievement, such
as metacognitive awareness, mathematical disposition, self-efficacy, and
reflective thinking. However, previous studies have rarely investigated the
simultaneous effect of these four factors, especially through the mediating role
of reflective thinking. This study aims to: (1) examine the direct effects of
metacognitive awareness, mathematical disposition, and self-efficacy on
reflective thinking; (2) test the direct effects of these variables on mathematics
achievement; and (3) analyze indirect effects on achievement through
reflective thinking. This study uses quantitative-correlational. The study
involved 200 students from grades X and XI at SMA 1 Boyolali. Data were
collected using validated questionnaires and mathematics tests, then analyzed
using path analysis. The results showed that metacognitive awareness,
disposition, and self-efficacy significantly affected reflective thinking, with a
contribution of 66.1%. Additionally, those three factors also had significant
direct effects on mathematics achievement, contributing 67.4%. Furthermore,
reflective thinking was found to mediate the indirect effect of metacognitive
awareness, disposition, and self-efficacy on mathematics achievement. These
findings contribute to the development of more comprehensive models of
mathematics learning by highlighting the central role of reflective thinking as
a mediator.
