Literasi sains dan kemampuan metakognitif memungkinkan siswa memahami dan menghubungkan konsep biologi dengan kehidupan nyata, dan membantu siswa mengendalikan dan mengevaluasi proses berpikir. Karena adanya tuntutan kurikulum merdeka dan keterampilan abad 21 maka proses pembelajaran biologi di sekolah harus mengakomodir literasi sains dan kemampuan metakognitif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kemampuan literasi sains dan metakognitif dalam pembelajaran biologi di SMA di Kabupaten Kuningan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode atau pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, tempat penelitian di 3 SMA di Kabupaten Kuingan yaitu SMAN 1 Pasawahan, SMAN 1 Cidahu, dan SMAN 2 Kuningan, subjek penelitiannya yaitu siswa dan guru biologi di kelas X1, teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan yaitu tes literasi sains, tes kemampuan metakognitif, kuesioner MAI, wawancara siswa dan guru, dokumentasi modul ajar. Teknik analisis data menggunakan triangulasi data, persentase hasil tes literasi sains dan metakognitif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, berdasarkan pemetaan literasi sains dan kemampuan metakognitif 3 SMA di Kabupaten Kuningan. SMAN 2 Kuningan sudah mengakomodir literasi sains dan kemampuan metakognitif. Sedangkan, SMAN 1 Pasawahan dan SMAN 1 Cidahu belum mengakomodir literasi sains dan kemampuan metakognitif.
