This study aims to obtain a description of the students’ ability profile in solving problems and students’ metacognition by using Rasch analysis. This research is considered important as the initial research to find ways to improve students' ability in solving problems through students’ metacognition knowledge. This descriptive study uses a population of students of class XII who have studied the eyes of effort and energy with the number of 180 students with sampling through random cluster side which amounted to 28 people side. The problem-solving skill refers to the rubrics developed by Doctor and the metacognition knowledge observed refers to a rubric developed by Taasoobshirazi,The results showed that most of the students have not used systematic steps in solving the problem. Some metacognitive knowledge is congruent with planning, information management, and conceptual knowledge needs to be improved to support problem-solving skills.
