This paper presents a study on the metacognitive strategies employed by English listeners in an EFL setting. The results of the study reveal that the subjects used directed attention most frequently and they used monitoring least frequently. Besides, there are differences in the use of metacognitive strategies between successful and unsuccessful listeners. The differences exist in the use of di...

Although there were studies that presented the applications of metacognitive skill training, the research on web-based metacognitive skills training are few. The purpose of this study is to design a web-based learning environment and further examine the effect of the web-based training. A pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was used in this study. Fifty-three college students were assign...

A model of decision making is proposed that integrates recognitional and metacognitive processes. The metacognitive functions supplement recognitional skills in situations in which events are novel or the meaning of events is unclear for other reasons. Such situations are common in military settings, such as Naval anti-air warfare, where it is often the case that stakes are high, time is short,...

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...

Metacognition, the ability to assess one's own knowledge, has been targeted as a critical learning mechanism in mathematics education. Yet the early childhood origins of metacognition have proven difficult to study. Using a novel nonverbal task and a comprehensive set of metacognitive measures, we provided the strongest evidence to date that young children are metacognitive. We showed that chil...

Metacognitive training techniques have been used successfully to improve children's problem-solving skills. The concept of metacognition needs further refinement, however, if it is to continue to be useful as an explanatory construct. Specifically, we argue that more attention needs to be paid to how metacognitive abilities are acquired, how this knowledge could be used to help improve the perf...

Objective: Anxiety and depression have a great effect on forming diabetes. Intermediations like metacognitive training has great effects on reducing the disease severity. Regarding the importance of depression in patients with diabetes, and the role of training in improving it, this study was done to survey the effectiveness of metacognitive training on depression level of diabetes type 2 patie...

Although learning protocols seem to be a promising possibility as a form of follow-up course work, cognitive and metacognitive learning activities proved to be suboptimal in “naive” protocols. Therefore, learning protocols were structured by prompts to elicit cognitive and metacognitive learning activities and thereby improve their effects. An experiment with four conditions was conducted. The ...
