This research analyzes the role of self-efficacy in enhancing metacognitive and academic performance of students through problem-solving as learning process. Researchers research some students from senior high school in Malang. This research uses mixed methods with surveys, interviews, and analysis of students’ learning outcomes. At the first meeting, students were asked to fill survey about the dimensions of self-efficacy, which are magnitude, strength, and generality. Moreover, researchers interviewed students to explore their metacognitive activities that they do, such as awareness, regulation, and evaluation.
