Abstract
Abstract. Level of cognitive process is a crucial issue in mathematics problem solving. The ability to solve unstructured problems in learning mathematics is influenced by level of cognitive process. The mastery of cognitive process level determines how individuals understand the problems and discover the way to solve these problems. The researcher adopted the concept proposed by Kitchener, then it is completed by the opinion of Anderson and Karthwohl. A-three level model of cognitive process consisted of cognition, metacognition, and epistemic cognition. The research is set to find out levels of cognitive process in mathematics problem solving. This is a qualitative research used task-based interview. A student at tenth grade of SMAN 6 Surakarta involved as a participant in this research. The result revealed that the student is able to solve mathematics problems which the problems are in the cognition level, exactly in the first stage, namely factual knowledge.
