Abstract

All students have strength and weakness but in metacognition, it is believed that the students must be able to solve their own weakness because they have the power of knowledge.That is the main aim of this research. I wanted to know know how well their metacognition to solve their own weakness in their teaching practice. I only investigated the level of their metacognition in the process of learning to learn or thinking to think namely:metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive regulation. This research carried out using descriptive research design. Students who took real teaching course in the seventh semester were the subject of my research. I wanted to get the real description of phenomenon of metacognitive awareness from the student teacher (candidate of teacher). The research was conducted in one group of peer teaching (group 11). This group consisted of 11 students. I chose this group because I myself who became the facilitator chosen by the developing education centre of STKIP PGRI Jombang. I neither did control nor treatment so I only described the characteristics and phenomenon by using the psychometric properties of MAI adapted from Schraw & Dennison. The findings were: the students were included in excellent level in procedural knowledge and debugging strategies, they were in good level in conditional knowledge, they were in enough level in declarative knowledge, planning, information management strategies, comprehension monitoring.
