Students who used the Metacognitive learning paradigm obtained an average score of 80.9, which was in the very good group. The provisions of ttable = 1.69726 and tcount = 5.398 are determined based on the results of the t-test conducted at a significance level of α = 0.05. Since tcount > ttable, or 5.398 > 1.69726, the alternative hypothesis, Ha, is accepted and the null hypothesis, H0, is rejected. Based on these results, it can be said that students of grade VIII of SMP Negeri 2 Deli Tua benefit from learning that utilizes the Metacognitive learning paradigm in terms of their capacity to create Explanatory Texts]]>
