Strong metacognition skills are associated with learning outcomes and student performance. Metacognition includes metacognitive knowledge-our awareness of our thinking-and metacognitive regulation-how we control our thinking to facilitate learning. In this study, we targeted metacognitive regulation by guiding students through self-evaluation assignments following the first and second exams in ...

Metacognition refers to 'cognition about cognition' and includes metacognitive knowledge, strategies and experiences (Efklides, 2008; Flavell, 1979). Research on reading has shown that better readers demonstrate more metacognitive knowledge than poor readers (Baker & Beall, 2009), and that reading ability improves through strategy instruction (Gersten, Fuchs, Williams, & Baker, 2001). The curre...

Reading comprehension is an active reading process in which students can dig up information sources. These skills are very important so that able to adapt and compete facing future challenges. In the process, required be understand how when implement strategies more effective. One strategy used metacognitive strategy. Metacognitive abilities for achievement. The Purpose of prepare further devel...

introduction: learning and studying are considered among the most basic processes of every educational system. one of the most essential factor in determining learning behaviours, is metacognitive awareness and perception. this study was performed to determine the relationship between students’ metacognitive awareness of reading strategies and their academic status. methods: in a descriptive co...

8 undirected, spontaneous thought processes that often occur without our volition 9 and sometimes despite our intentions. Metacognition, by contrast, involves the 10 conscious, often intentional monitoring and evaluation of our own mental pro11 cesses and behaviors. The neural correlates of MW and metacognition may also 12 appear strictly distinct at first, considering the almost exclusive focu...

abstractthis study aims to highlight the key roles played by metacognitive strategies training in the development of listening comprehension skill and self-regulation strategies of efl learners. the participants of this study (n = 60) were female iranian students assigned to two groups of experimental and control in kish english language institute. learners in the experimental group received 6-...

Recent research suggests that incubation is superior to metacognition in tasks involving many decision alternatives (Dijksterhuis et al., 2006). One explanation for these findings is the limited information processing capacity of working memory. The current study further investigates this topic by using more complex tasks as many errors in Dynamic Decision-Making (DDM) are thought to be related...

In this article it is demonstrated that topics discussed in contemporary metacognitive research are integral parts of Vygotsky's (1978, 1986) theory of cognitive development. This conclusion is reached through a discussion of Vygotsky's views of self-regulation, the relationship between self-awareness and self-regulation, and the relationship between awareness/regulation on the one hand and cog...
