ABSTRACT: This research was ex post facto design that aimed to examine an application of the natural product mini project laboratory in order to improve the students’ metacognition. The research subjects were students of Chemistry Education, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Mataram University who programed Natural Product Chemistry Course. The results of the data analysis showed that the profile of students’ metacognition skills increased after the application of a Mini Project Laboratory of Natural Product Chemistry. Students who have high GPA also had high metacognition skills. The highest percentage of high categories was planning metacognition indicators, whereas the lowest percentage was the conditional knowledge indicator.
