The quality of learning outcomes is influenced by the ability of students to control their cognitive processes continuously and develop into metacognitive. Through the metacognitive process, students are expected to be able to motivate, organize, develop themselves to determine their goals and try to achieve the goals to make their learning and thinking processes more effective and efficient. This study aimed to determine the students’ metacognitive abilities of Mathematics Education Study Program in Tarbiyah and Teacher Training Faculty, UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh. The type of research used a quantitative method. The population of the study were all student who took the subject of Field Geometry course in Mathematics Education Study Program, Tarbiyah and Teacher Training Faculty, UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh. The sample was the students in one of the five classes taking the course. The instrument in this study was a problem-solving question. Data analysis was conducted descriptively using Analysis Score. The students have different metacognitive abilities in solving a mathematical problem-solving question. Three of the twenty-three students have high metacognitive abilities.
