Introduction

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of metacognition and scientific attitudes of family partners in forming a sakinah family. The approach used in this research is descriptive quantitative, which is done by measuring each research variable, then analyzing and describing it so that it is easy to understand. The technique of collecting data is done by survey. Surveys were carried out on all samples in the study to measure metacognition, scientific attitude, and success in forming a sakinah mawaddah warahmah family. The population of this study is women who are grouped into two categories: 1) career women (who work in offices/employees), 2) unemployed women (especially those taking care of the family) in the city of Jambi with a total sample of 100 (50 people in each sample group) taken at random. The instrument used in this study was a set of 30 questions. The answers were measured by respondents using a Likert scale. Dataanalysis was carried out using SPSS 16 software. The results showed thatmetacognition ability significantly affects the ability to form a sakinah mawaddah warahmah family with a sig. 0.012 (career women group) and 0.000 (non-career women group). As for the scientific attitude test, career women obtained 0.031 > 0.05, and non-career women obtained 0.019 > 0.05. It shows that scientific attitude significantly affects their ability to form a sakinah mawaddah warahmah family. The F test also shows that the two variables jointly affect the ability to form a sakinah mawadah warahmah family

Review

This study explores a highly relevant and culturally significant topic: the factors contributing to the formation of "Sakinah Mawaddah Warahmah" families, specifically focusing on metacognition and scientific attitude among career and non-career women. The aim to quantify the effects of these psychological constructs on family success is laudable, offering insights into personal attributes that may foster stable and harmonious family units. The differentiation between career and non-career women adds an interesting dimension, acknowledging diverse life paths and their potential influence on family dynamics. The overall objective is clear and the chosen variables hold intuitive appeal for a topic concerned with thoughtful decision-making and a rational approach to life's challenges. Methodologically, the study adopts a descriptive quantitative approach using a survey design. While a sample size of 100 participants (50 from each group) for a complex social phenomenon might be considered modest, the random sampling strategy in Jambi city is a reasonable starting point. However, the abstract lacks crucial details regarding the instrument used to measure the "success in forming a Sakinah Mawaddah Warahmah family." The 30-question instrument is mentioned, but its development, validation, and reliability for measuring such nuanced constructs (metacognition, scientific attitude, and family success) are not elaborated upon. This omission is a significant weakness, as the robustness of the findings heavily relies on the quality and appropriateness of the measurement tools. Furthermore, the operationalization of "Sakinah Mawaddah Warahmah family" into measurable survey items would be critical to understand the scope and interpretation of the results. The reported results indicate that metacognition ability significantly affects the ability to form a Sakinah Mawaddah Warahmah family for both career (sig. 0.012) and non-career (sig. 0.000) women. The findings concerning scientific attitude, however, present a reporting inconsistency in the abstract. While it states "career women obtained 0.031 > 0.05, and non-career women obtained 0.019 > 0.05," it immediately concludes that "It shows that scientific attitude significantly affects their ability to form a sakinah mawaddah warahmah family." The presented p-values (0.031 and 0.019) are both less than 0.05, which *would* indicate significance; thus, the "> 0.05" notation is contradictory and should be corrected for clarity. Assuming the intended interpretation is that scientific attitude *does* have a significant effect, the F-test further supports the joint impact of both variables. Despite the methodological reporting gaps, the study provides preliminary evidence for the role of cognitive and attitudinal factors in marital success, laying groundwork for more detailed future investigations with stronger instrument validation.
