This study aims to improve the ability to understand monoid concepts through Problem Posing learning. The method used is a quasi-experiment. The research design used was pre-test post-test group design. The research sample was 32 undergraduate students of the Mathematics Education Study Program FKIP Universitas Bengkulu at the Algebra Abstract course of even semester of 2018-2019 academic year. The instrument used was a 4 item test about the concept of monoid. Data were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results of the study are as follows: 1) an increase in the ability to understand the monoid concept of students by 0.67, including the medium category; 2) the achievement of the ability to understand the monoid concept is 74.75 in the high category. The results of this study have implications for the importance of the role of questions in learning mathematics.
