Factors of Critical Spatial Thinking for a geography metacognition assessment are a moot point among experts and practitioners. This study aims to develop an understanding about such factors by using a structural equation model to generate a comprehensive and accurate assessment instrument for metacognition in geography. The study is a research and development project for a Thesis. The current research involves 595 participants, consisting of experts and practitioners from eight rep resentative Senior High Schools in Indonesia. The study occurred between August 2017 and February 2019. The results from a confirmatory factor analysis generated 15 indicators for three dimensions of critical spatial thinking. The three dimensions are conc ept comprehension, concept application, and creativity in producing ideas; and they are used to generate an assessment for metacognition in geography. The indicators involve concept application, location, distance, approach, equation, disaster mitigation, concept map, interaction, map instrument, aura, region, hierarchy, pattern, spatial association, and inquiry. The factors were assessed by nine experts and obtained 0.85 on the Aiken validity index. A chi square of 330.47, df = 90, p value = 0.000, and Roo t Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.071, t = 4.78, and GFI = 1.96 in the significance level of 5%, proves the items fulfil both the analysis and construct dimensions, and also have a significant influence on the dimensions and factors of metacognition © RIGEO.
