The difference of cognitive stratetegies’ scores with the scale mean was significant at P=0.0 01. It was also significant for metacognitive strategies at P=0.01. The mean score of rehearsal strategy 13.04±3.65 was more than the score average (p=0.05), as was the mean of semantic expansion strategy 19.19±4.63 (P<0.01). The mean scores for organizing strategy (12.06±3.91), and critical thinking (15.82±4.40) were not significantly different from the scale mean. Also, the mean score of the students’GPA was significantly correlated with the amount of students’ use of cognitive strategies (r=0.28, p=0.05) and metacognitive strategies (r=0.24, p=0.02).
