Students’ limited ability to connect theoretical concepts with real-life phenomena, coupled monotonous lecture-based teaching, has led low engagement in learning. This study investigates the effect of Quantum Learning model on students’ metacognitive skills and scientific reasoning. Using a quasi-experimental design nonequivalent control group, involved 41 tenth-grade students at SMA 1 Labuapi, divided into an experimental group (n = 20) 21), selected through saturated sampling. The Metacognitive Skills Scale (MSS), adapted from Mustafa Nuray, reasoning test based Classroom Test Scientific Reasoning (CTSR) developed by Lawson, were used for data collection. Data analyzed using paired sample t-tests significance level α 0.05. Results showed significant improvement both groups, experiencing greater gains (mean diff. -20.050; SD 5.624; p 0.000) -32.200; 5.978; compared (metacognitive: -11.905; 5.558; reasoning: -14.619; 5.826; 0.000). These findings indicate that is effective enhancing awareness as well recommended use science education improve student thinking skills.
