The present research examines the influence of pre-service teachers’ professional development (PD) program in metacognitive skills on their practice of these skills in a mobile technologies environment. Twenty-four pre-service teachers participated in the PD program. The data was collected from the pre-service teachers’ texts for activities solutions, as well as from their Edmodo discussion. We analyzed the data using the constant comparative method. The research results indicate that at the beginning, the pre-service teachers did not use such skills, but, because of the preparation, they started using these skills as learners, where this use utilized the mobile technologies. In a later phase, the pre-service teachers used these skills as teachers to encourage their students to use metacognitive skills collaboratively. Keywords: metacognitive skills, pre-service teachers, mathematics teachers' education, mobile technologies.
