摘要：The study aims to investigate the analysis of student metacognition skill in solving
the rainbow connection problem under the implementation of the research-based
learning model. The method used in this study is a mixed method. The research
subjects were the 4th semester of students of higher education consisting of 30
students of experimental class and 45 students of the control class. The instruments
of this research are a test, an observation, and an interview. Quantitative method is
applied to analyze the difference of student achievement result among two classes,
while the qualitative method is applied to analysis the students' metacognitive
skills. The results show that there are significant differences between the two
classes that applied research-based learning and conventional learning models. The
conventional model refers to student-centered learning of Think-Pair- Shares
(TPS) model. The statistical result indicates that the (2-tailed) significance of the
independent sample t-test in the pre-test was 0.000 or α ≤ 0.05. It implies that the
implementation of RBL significantly affects the students' metacognition skill in
solving the rainbow connection problem.
