While listening plays an important role in the process of foreign/second language learning, different factors can affect this process. This study was designed to assess the relationship between listening anxiety and metacognitive strategy awareness with a special interest in the role of gender and proficiency level. In order to conduct this survey, two instruments including the Metacognitive Aw...

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of instruction of metacognitive knowledge on academic stress in high school female students. This research method is quasi experimental with pretest and post test. Given this, 37female first grade students (19 subjects in experimental group and 18 subjects in control group) were randomly selected using multi-stage cluster samplin...

The problem of low metacognitive skills and student learning outcomes on colloid topics is overcome by implementing Task-Based Learning Direct Instruction (TBLDI) models. This study aims to improve (1) skills, (2) aspects knowledge, attitudes, (3) teacher implementation in applying the TBLDI model; (4) activity. research was conducted using a classroom action design two cycles. Each cycle consi...

Metacognition plays an essential role in learning mathematics. Due to missing tools for observation and evaluation of metacognitive activities in mathematics instruction, rarely anything is known about how metacognition is fostered in mathematics instruction. This paper presents the design of such an innovative tool. It also explains the methodology used to evaluate its reliability as well as t...

Task dependent conflict has been shown to reduce metacognitive judgements of confidence and prolong response times in various reasoning tasks. For this study a modified version of the base rate task was used to induce conflict while measuring response times and judgements of confidence. The aim of this experiment was to determine the influence of different instruction conditions (reasoning acco...

This study sought to compare the metacognitive knowledge profile of weak and strong students in problem solving. For achieving this purpose, one hundred students of the second educational District of Tehran were chosen by cluster sampling. They responded individually to the questions of "the Metacognitive Questionnaire Interview" and in the next step their performance in the pendulum problem so...

the present paper investigated the effectiveness of concept mapping as a learning strategy on efl students’ self-regulation (metacognitive self-regulation, time and study environment, effort regulation, peer learning, and help seeking). sixty university students participated in the study. they were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups, each including thirty students. they were a...
