This study aimed to analyze the metacognitive skills of eighth-grade junior high school students in Makassar Raya in answering Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)-based questions. The study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design. The participants were 27 students selected through total sampling. Data were collected through a HOTS-based essay test consisting of 10 items. Each student response was assessed using the Corebima (2008) metacognitive skills rubric, with a score range of 0–7. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, median, mode, and standard deviation. The results showed that the students’ metacognitive skills were dominated by a score of 4, achieved by 12 students (44.44%). A score of 3 was obtained by 7 students (25.93%), a score of 5 by 3 students (11.11%), scores of 2 and 6 by 2 students each (7.41%), and a score of 7 by 1 student (3.70%). No students obtained a score of 1. These findings indicate that the students’ metacognitive skills were in the moderate or transitional category. In general, the students were able to provide correct, coherent, logical, and well-reasoned answers, but they had not yet optimally expressed their responses in their own words. Therefore, HOTS-based instruction needs to be accompanied by strategies that encourage students to plan, monitor, and evaluate their thinking processes more reflectively.
