Summary: 
Metacognition is considered to be a process of managing, controlling student knowledge, applying perception, analyzing and evaluating learning or other activities. In subjects of Probability and Statistics, the lecturer have many opportunities to train their students with metacognitive skills, contributing to the development of thinking. Through this, students can plan, control, evaluate their learning process and gradually become strategic thinkers. The article presents about the metacognition, some metacognitive skills, the application of the ideas into teaching and how to teach metacognitive skills through probability calculations using probability formulas.
