The main objective of the study was to find out which domain of metacognitive awareness of senior high school students significantly influences their attitudes toward problem solving in science. Using stratified random sampling, the respondents of the study were the 281 senior high school students from Magpet, North Cotabato for school year 2017-2018. This study employed a quantitative non-experimental design through correlational technique. The statistical tools that were utilized in the analysis and interpretation of the data were Mean, Pearson r, and Regression. The findings of the study showed that the metacognitive awareness of senior high school students was rated high. It also indicated that the attitudes toward problem solving in science of senior high school students was moderate. Also, there was a significant relationship between the metacognitive awareness of the senior high school students and their attitudes toward problem solving in science.
