It is based on a strong understanding to the problem being addressed. This is important in order to make the activity run smoothly. This research is a qualitative research which is aimed to investigate the metacognition process of teachers college students for solving formal and contextual mathematical problems. The data collection was conducted through problem solving activities such as written tasks, thinking aloud, and interviews. The data obtained were triangulated by assigning parallel newly problems to be solved at different times. The results of this research are (1) the metacognition process in solving the contextual mathematical problems is apparently more dynamic and the frequency of metacognitive activity implementation is higher than in solving formal mathematical problems, (2) this difference is higher in the subject from high skilled group, and as for the subject from low skilled group, there is only a slight difference.
